36 KTMs stolen from delivery lorry

That's 36 more kids who'll be upset this Christmas..

Tweet
Posted: 14 December 2011
by Visordown News

A DELIVERY of 36 new KTM junior motocross motorcycles have been stolen from a lorry in Kent on the evening of Friday 9th of December.

Thieves took 35 KTM 50 SXs and one 65 SX. The bikes were still in their individual transportation boxes, still requiring a small amount of assembly from the dealerships they were intended for.

The theft has many impacts and not only makes availability of the 50 SX extremely difficult but will more than likely spoil Christmas for many families as the majority of the bikes stolen were pre-ordered via KTM dealers ready to arrive as gifts.

Even though these are off-road bikes, each machine has a unique VIN (vehicle identification number) and engine number that can be used to trace its identity. Police and KTM dealers have these details and, together with KTM UK, will be working with motocross clubs and tracks across the country to make sure these stolen machines are returned.

Per another article concerning bike theft... I hope these KTMs have Accutrac on them... otherwise... it sounds as if one should not hold their breath waiting on police action or recovery...

You can bet your life that the bikes are in a container, on a ship heading for Nigeria. You couldn't sell them in the EU without removing all identity markings.
