They stole my bungie cords....
 

Off my luggage rack...

Yeah, can ya believe it?

That or they fell off. Which I doubt.

I went on a small ride to the next town south of me Sunday morning. Went into some hole in the wall cafe for breakfast. Thats when somebody must have nabbed them.

Unbelievable.

Could have been worse. They could have stolen your bike.

Just look on the side of the road, you'll find some replacements pretty quick!

If I'm not strapping something down, my bungees always go inside my saddle bags. Never lost them off my bike, but I've had a lot of them disappear out of my truck at Lowe's and Home Depot while I was inside!

How often do you think people steal stuff out of saddlebags? They're not locked and represent an open invitation for prying eyes. The only downside to a thief is that he might get caught by the big nasty guy riding the motorcycle.

Most petty theft is a crime of opportunity. I too have had cords disappear if they were in plain sight, where they can be had in a split second such that nobody would notice. I have never had anything INSIDE the bags messed with, even though they are unlocked, because messing with the bag latches would make the punk too conspicuous.

One just needs to figure that anything that is loosely attached to the bike in plain sight WILL eventually disappear. But I don't know why we should expect all bike riders to figure that out since EVERY DAY in the crime reports are thefts of valuable stuff that is left in plain sight in UNLOCKED cars. Stupidity has no limits, it would appear. :roll:

I dont quite follow the last paragraph. Are you saying that I'm an idiot?

I think he is referring to the unlocked car with stuff easily grabbed. .................That reminds me, I have an unwanted TV to put in the back of the Ranger.

Re: They stole my bungie cords....
 

Not unless you are in the habit of leaving your car unlocked.....with your wallet laying on the seat. :shocked:

Things like bunje cords are expendible and not worth worrying about.

Now that you know "how things work", you might be an idiot if you think you can put some more cords on the back and expect them to stay there indefinitely. :poke2: :biggrin:

My saddlebags lock. :cool:
