They've already banned us from parking next to a walkway at the building where the hp4 was stolen... so i wouldn't have any trouble imagining them doing the same in the garage if it's an issue.

It takes 1-2mins for them to load the bike and take off. Depending on how far away the security office is, it could take them up to 5 minutes to get to that location. That being said, no one is going to jump in front of a van to stop them from leaving the lot either - rather, the person driving the van would probably pull an aggressive maneuver to get away.
Like I said previously, these A holes are likely labourers with some sort of maintenance crew that was recently in the building. They learn the lay of the land, where to find the bikes, how to access the building and whatever else they need to know while they're in there doing legit business.

I say most likely (not actually) because of the incidents that have happened to family and friends. My grandmother's old condo garage was cleaned out after the floors were washed... didn't think anything of it until 3 months later when the guys were caught in the act elsewhere and subsequently charged in her buildings case. Since then, anytime someone I personally know has had their buildings security breached, I ask if they can recall work being done in the weeks leading up to the theft. More often than not, there was. Is that proof? Of course not. But it is more likely than a "tip off" IMHO. Then again it is just my opinion...

Well said.
Guy with a wrench isn't less honest than a guy in a suit.
Hell, look at all the money laundering issues and investment scams...

Badge 2471. It really does suck. Working with insurance now. It's very expensive to replace.

Steering locks are a deterrent but they are weak and easily broken. However, a steering lock does nothing when the bike is loaded into a van. Same with disc locks, etc.

guys in suits dont steal bikes...they are too busy stealing peoples life savings
Bingo! They want an HP4 they'll have your grandmother buy it for them.
Especially since that's a bank building...
I know it would be hard to replace, I have the luxury of parking mine in my garage and not out of sight anywhere else, but it's still a bike so don't worry too much. It sucks now, but keep up the spirits and start looking at new ones (it's a fun enough distraction; There is one available in Victoria, BC for sale. ).
My friend also got his HP4 stolen as well in markham overnight. It was his second bike stolen within 5 months from his parking spot. Security footage as well couldn't get the license plate so useless. Why have cameras in the first place if everything is blurry. here's the footage of the 2 guys taking it in like 10 sec. Sorry for your loss i couldn't even imagine.

It did not appear as if he had a chain around his bike.
If you have such an expensive bike and live in a condo and already had one stolen then one would think the least you would do is have 2 of those super tough chains and an alarm connected. If you have the money to spend on a toy such as an HP4 then you should have a few $ to spend on security.

I'm surprised no one has done this before. The general attitude is "thats whats insurance is for" , but for sure , in some buildings there has been a pattern over the years. I know 2 people at Yonge/Sheppard who had their bikes taken in condos where other bikes have been nicked.
Also, we would need a police force and insurance industry that cares...
