...you caught some cager tipping your bike, then trying to prop it back up to hide the damage?
It's happened to me twice this summer. TWICE! Both times, my bike was parked on the street. I come back to it and realize that it's been knocked over, probably by some ******* cager pulling in/out of the parking spot beside me. Front brake lever is gnarled out of shape; handle bars are skewed; scratches and scuff marks all over the place. Over $500 worth of damage the first time. Happened again this morning, two weeks after I got the bike back from the first time!!!! TWO WEEKS!!!! Man, I'm PISSED. I'll probably never catch the mother****er, but the pleasure of imagining various cruel and unusual torments for the little bitch will help ease my pain until I get the bike back in shape. Any ideas? Thanks for letting me rant.

Yea, I got one of those. I was down there in minutes. The culprit wasn't there by the time I arrived. The car right behind me still had a warm hood and had scratches on the front. Might be the ***-clown in question, might not. Took some pics, took down the plate number, gave it to the insurance company, but chances are nobody will be able to prove anything, so I'm probably screwed again. Man, I'M SO PISSED!!!! AAAARGH!!!!!
In a case like that, I would have called the cops. Take pics, wait for them to show up, and at least file a report. But somewhere in there (if it was actually them), I'd let the diaboilical games begin. It was said somewhere that youth and energy are no match for wisdom and cunning. I would screw with that jerk-off in so many untraceable ways, he'd have to untie his shoes to breath.

I have seen more than one of them on the net, its basically a car alarm for motorcycles, and some have a little pager or keyfob that goes off so.
Here is a writeup on one ---> http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...orcycle-alarm/

It's a motion sensor that when activated it will alert you with a beeper/pager devise. I thought about one of these myself, as my alarm system simply disables the bike so it can't be started, oh yes, and the signals will flash. Not much good if the bike is in the back of a van on its way to the chop shop.
