That sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Where was it parked? Street? Condo lot? Private Lot? Public lot? Night/Day?

So it's not only new supersports they steal, they also go for other types of bikes? My motorcycle is an 11-year-old sport-tourer, a very rare model, it's completely safe from thieves.... has been in the underground garage with no cover since October and I always sleep well at night LOL
He should've just said he saw someone with a gun there

Seems like the police do not care about people personal property being stolen or care enough to recover it. Your friend should contact his local elected official and ask why the police are unwilling or can not help.
Condo underground garage ...
A cop came few hours after I reported the theft ... he asked few usual questions and that was about it. He admitted, chances for the bike to be recovered and slim to none. I know I'm not the first or last person to be in this mess but man, it suck b***s!

I used to live in a condo and bikes were getting stolen from the garage. So I bought a bike with just the right amount of ugly and never looked back.
I used to find that placing a small piece of duct tape on the seat was a very effective anti-theft device.

Kind of looked like someone lifted the cover of my bike and spilled coffee on it last night.
Not sure if I'm being paranoid, but broken fork seal/oil on my tire and on the ground, and broken front fender/fairing might have detered whoever lifted it.
Not a heavily targetted bike either.
Im more concerned for thieves scratching my car while dragging the bike out from behind...

I have no idea what to get right now ... used for sure but clueless about year, make and model.
V Strom any year comes preloaded with the ugly

While true, some of the newer ones with slightly better suspension and digital gauges have been stolen. I have never heard of one of the pre-2011 models getting stolen. When I bought my first Strom in 2008, I thought it was one of the ugliest bikes I had ever seen, but not quite as ugly as the KLR or Suzuki Savage.
Maybe an old SV650? Or a GS500 is even cheaper.
YOu can buy a decent bike for under 3k:

***** theoretical*****
- if i were to catch the thieves red handed and i beat the s?!t out of them with a baseball bat, then call the cops - would i get into trouble? would this be self defense as they assaulted me and my property?
I got a xena on my bike but i doubt it would stop anything
