Police found mine four days after it was stolen out of my driveway, so it can happen. Make sure the cops have the right VIN; get them to read it back to you. My guys had transposed some numbers in the report and I'm sure correcting that made all the difference in restoring it to me. Good luck! Stephen --- Bill Emmack wrote:

Sorry to hear that. It sucks. I know this doesn't help now, but I installed an alarm on my KLR. Certainly not 100% effective, but might help. If someone wants it, they will get it. I think the best alarm is a pit bull and a 12 guage. Jeff A20 In a message dated 2/27/2008 5:02:51 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, kawajla@... writes: Hi ,sorry to hear that.

I love that bike. I don't expect to see it again, but, you know, if anyone sees anything suspicious..a Thanks. BE A9, SF --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
