I am extremely sorry to hear about your loss Aryan da. I know what you must be going through. Happened to me too. Losing a bike(which actually is a babe to us all) which you have cared,fondled and loved for years hurts a lot. Not to mention all the memories related to the bike.

those ****ers burn in hell.

write an application and submit, also try to involve media or give a small ad in paper. I guess after reading about you i will surely get a wheel lock, i do have security guard at my building but i do not trust them so easily.

I hope you find your bike, safe and sound.

Just a suggestion in 2 days bike would be out of delhi in haryana etc and the police might do hundred other nakhras.


they should participate in castrol passionate contest (just trying to lighten the thread mood)

Shit! That's sad man!

Sorry to hear about your loss Aryan.

A colleague of mine uses a longer version of a cycle tyre lock to hold his bike down. Another friend I know, had a hook set in concrete in his garage to lock his CBR down. Can never be too careful.

Of course, this is all good to talk about after the bike is gone.. I hope you get some resolution on this issue, seeing as how chances of recovering the bike is remote.

Real late last night at around 2am or so my next door neighbour rings the door bell. I get up from the bed (I wasn't asleep) and open the door. He told me that he had just received a telephone call on his landline from the Rajouri Garden area Police station. The voice on the other side of the phone mentioned that a motorcycle - Bajaj Pulsar 200, blue, registration number - DL-6S AC-0422 has just been recovered from that area.

So, this morning after calling the IO (Investigating Officer), I show up at the Police station at Inderpuri since the IO had asked me to go and meet the officer-in-charge at the Inderpuri Police station. As soon as I entered the Police station premises, from afar I see the glowing white "X" sign evedent on the back of a Pulsar-200! I was instantly excited, because I knew it was my machine that I was staring at from afar.

I go inside, and tell the whole incident of the phone call to the Officer-in-charge. He asks me to go out and have a look at the vehicle, whether everything is in order or not. I rush out, and check my bike. Everything seems to be okay except two things:
1. The RVMs are gone.
2. The lock set is not working. Hence, the bike is obviously not starting.

I go in, and the Officer-in-charge asks me to write an application directed at the SHO of the Inderpuri Police station mentioning that the motorcycle has been found and that I am taking ownership back of the machine. I do the same, and give the application to him.

Uptil now, I was really wondering how come the so called 'saviors' of the society haven't even asked for a penny. Just when I was about to be thankful to the great Police department for their commendable job, pat came the words out of the Officer-in-charge's mouth: "We have spent Rs.750/- to bring your bike from Rajouri Garden Police station to this station. Please do pay that, and the rest chai-paani is upto you..." I obviously get the drift, but since I really am not familiar with all the intricies of our "law and order" department, and also because I was just a little pissed off with all that had transpired since the past couple of days, I ask bluntly - "Just tell me how much do you want 'sir', and let me get over with this, shall we, "PLEASE" "?

He was at first taken a little aback, but eventually the gorilla did open his mouth! Not going into any more details, I had to pay Rs.2800/- to get the bike from the Police station. This after taking him to the nearest tea stall where he had a cup of hot, steaming tea coupled with two hot and fresh samosas...

Anyhow, I am not really worried about all that has happened in the Police station. I am grateful to the Police department for a change, that atleast I have got my blue babe back.

Now, what I am absolutely clueless about is - the handle lock is in the 'Locked' position, then how did they take away the bike? The electricals has not been tampered with, that I can clearly see. Even though the handle lock is in the 'locked' position, the handle is turning both left and right, quite freely albeit a little difficulty.

Okay now a few queries. If someone could help me please, I would be really grateful.

1. I am not able to unlock the bike with the real key. I mean the handle lock is in 'Locked' position. How the hell do I unlock it? I mean, I am sure the lock-set is gone. But if I am not able to start it, how would I take it to the service station?

2. How can I keep her secured? I don't stay in a house where I could get my own little, sweet and secure parking space. So, I HAVE to park the bike in the road side only. Can I use chains or something similar to tie the bike or something probably?


Whatever has ensued during the past two days has left me mentally absolutely fu"c"ked up! But atleast at the end of the day, my machine is back where it belongs.

All said and done, I am thankful to the Police department without whose help I wouldn't have ever been able to even see my machine back again, let alone get it. And finding a stolen machine within 24hours is something which I for one NEVER even thought was possible!

@all you guys: I am really thankful for all your support. Thanks a million guys and girls. You have been tremendously helpful.

@Niranjan and Rockyyy: Thanks for those PMs guys. Really helpful.

Finally, I have something to smile about.

I should've held off on my last post!

I am really happy for you man. You beat the odds and got your bike back. Now you need to give her some TLC and get her back in shape.. Everything can be fixed

Thanks Rossi! Yes, I finally got my blue P-200 back!

WOW !!!!! This is THE BREAKING NEWS this morning.

This is really heartening to see your bike been found and returned to you. What more can someone ask. Paying 2800 seems too much etc etc etc but then more important is that you got the bike back. I am really happy for you . P200 recovery G2G is on the cards now .

Jokes apart, now you need to fix the safety issues at your residence first. I don't know much about it but you can start with using couple of thick chains, front wheel lock ad AutocopXS kind of security systems. Also, attach small bells in the chain that you will use. When someone moves it they will ring, and atleast they can alert the people sleeping inside the house near the bike. This idea came to my mind right now .

Also, talk to few people around and try to chain the vehicles together and get a security gaurd to gaurd the vehicles, collectively.

You can also check out if there are some private parking lot in your locality. I have seen some nicely gaurded and well taken care off private parking slots in area around Delhi where you don't have a parking space in your own house.

These are few of the options popping up in my mind right now.

As for taking the bike to service center, you can use a rickshaw or someone to push u till the service center.

Finally, Congrats on getting your bike back man !!!

Wow thats good news

@Leon: Thanks man! You have supported me in this time. Mentally at the moment I am absolutely pissed off, but thankful that my bike is back.

This parking space problem is really HUGE! Tying with chains is something which I would be doing ASAP.

@Aryan: Woow..this is wonderful news...

Regarding the lock...asked my mechanic at PBK and he says that the lock must have been broken and a white socket on the right must have been removed. Check that.

Alright, will do that. I spoke to Born2Lead a few moments back, he also said that some "white socket" must have been tampered with to unlock it. I'll check it in the evening once I get back from work! Damn, it seems it is just so easy to unlock and walk away with a machine!

P.S: What exactly is that "white socket"?

@ Aryan,

Very very happy for you mate, seriously dint expect your ordeal to end so soon and easy! When the worst happens you tend to get pessimistic. Good for you bro. Invest in a couple of cycle chain type locks and lock both the front and rear wheels. Touch wood, I don't think those buggers will strike again. How far is the nearest service center from your place? You could ask a friend to tow you, (push your rear left foot peg with his right leg types) if it is less than 10 km or does not have heavy traffic enroute.

Cheers again and keep safe!

Oh Aryan, was out of station the past 3 days and all these have happened. Came to office, opened up xBhp and saw this thread. I felt really sad. But thank god u got the bike back. Yes, the processes are frustrating unless u know someone from inside the force. My friend lost his Splendor like this, but knew the DGP and he got it back in a week without the loss of a penny. And yes please do take good care of ur bike.

I think using real thick chains should help. Also of help could be disc break locking systems like these: Sell Disc Brake Lock with Alarm (RS900), Disc Brake Lock with Alarm (RS900) trade - Car Lock, Motorcycle Lock & Bicycle Lock or disk brake lock - Search for disk brake lock Manufacturers and Suppliers from Taiwan, China and Worldwide for disk brake lock Buyers, Importers, Wholesalers, Distributors in B2B Marketplace

Anyways all the best. Sort out the issues asap and start riding!
