My Quad was stolen!! Need some help! $1000 reward!!

[RTR_380/450R]

Need help fellas.
Just finished a ground up rebuild on my race bike Saturday night. New or rebuilt everything.
Tuesday morning around 4:00 AM, someone broke into the side door of my garage, pulled the garage realease and rolled my quad out. This is disturbing for 2 reasons. I just finished her after working for 10 months to afford the money and time to build her the way I always wanted and the fact that someone cam into my home while Candace and I were sleeping!! Not to mention that I have been rehabbing my knee after complete reconstruction in hopes to get back into the saddle and get fast again.
If you have ever had "your baby" stolen from you, then you know that I cant even describe what it feels like. Its not like I can just go buy another one.
I live in Sebring. My hopes are that it is still in Sebring or the surrounding towns. If it is, then I can find it.
Im attaching a pic of before the rebuild. I didnt get a chance to take some pics after the rebuild. Some things are different.
It now has a Black Walsh Swingarm that was Jeremy Lawson's "Sweet 16" swingarm.
It has Sweet 16 plate welded into the swingarm. A few other things are different, but the overall look is the same. I am sure that they have removed the graphics kit and my number plates with my name on them.
06 Honda TRX450R. White plastics with everything else powdercoated black. Fox shocks, etc;

$1000 reward to the recovery of or any information leading to the recovery of this quad.

Damn bro, not again. I will keep my eye's peeled.

Why I didn't get any doors or windows added to my garage when it was built. Someone that you know either got ur bike or had something to do with it. Hope you get it back.

That really sucks. Johnny Gallagher just posted his stolen out of ormond beach.

I doubt I will get lucky twice. This time someone will get hurt if I find it. Man, Woman or child. You count on that brother.

Thanks brother! If it stays here in Highland County, then we can find it!
Put the word out.

Check with Brandon George!

Check with Brandon George!

I dont even think that he is around anymore. Besides, Brandon is deathly afraid that I will break him in half.

Rob,
I absolutely know that it is either someone that knows me or someone that lives right around me.  I only finished
rebuilding her a couple weeks ago and only had her running this past Saturday. The only time that she was on display for
anybody to know that I had it in my garage was Sunday. I had it out in the yard so we could have the garage for barbeque.
Im sure someone drove by and saw her sitting out. If it stays in Highland County, then I will find it.
When I do, my anger management coach is going to be dissapointed in me.

Does your garage sit on the same side of your house as the master bedroom? Also, was your garage door kicked in or did it take alot of force to make entry? How many people were at your house the day of the barbeque?

[hatchdemon89]

I think it was probably someone who knows you who had taken it.Ive heard stories of people down south florida going north to steal stuff their known for it.Ill keep an eye out also over here east south side for you.

[jrpro130]

eyes out in highlands!

[KAW3604x4]

Wow! This is too close to home for this to be starting. 

Let's hope you find it!

[JOE3504x4]

That really Sucks, Ill keep an eye out for it... Do you have insurance??

[greenmachine]

do you have a dog? If someone entered my garage I know my dog would bark and then they would meet Mr Ruger.
Good luck man I hope I never have to feel your pain. Hope if you do find it she is still in one piece and ready to race.

It seems as if Candace left the side door to the garage open. She remembers shutting the garage door and going out of the side door to her truck to go to work. She said she was in a hurry and does not remember locking it. Its on the opposite side of our bedroom. I knew everybody but 2 people that were at the house Sunday. I immediately went straight to their house and checked them out. They were my first suspects. Ive about ruled them out of taking it, but now absolutely sure!
I doubt that it is someone that actually knows me well! Anybody who does know me well, knows that I have a tendency to beat people until they either quit breathing, the bat im using breaks, or Im pulled off of them. (not a super bad azz, just have anger problems)
I do not have insurance!
The dog that we have is Candace's and is retarded! The only time he makes noise is when I beat him for crapping in the utility room!

Anybody that can help, I would appreciate it! A lot of quads being stolen in this area right now. Hopefully it's still in the county. If it is, then I can find it.

Would pretty much be like hitting the lotto by someone that doesn't know you randomly checking your door, finding it was unlocked, and letting up your garage knowing you more than likely wouldn't hear it. The same night after you had a gathering at your house. PM me their info

I met your dad last night at Bartow. He handed me your a-arms and swnger to get powdercoated. I'm always on craigs and ebay and atv-riders. I'll will keep my eyes and ears open. We live up here near MTDora so the northern end will be covered.

[RTR_380/450R]

Yeah, Pops said you guys were super nice!
I appreciate you doing that for me. David said you would not mind.
I also appreciate you keeping an eye out for me!!

Man that sucks i hate thieves i had a whole trailer of bikes stolen with a brand new 450r on it i will keep a look out good luck

[Hondarider22]

Sorry to here that man! Being that I've been hit twice, I feel your pain! We were extremely lucky the last time and put in a lot of time and effort to end up recovering all four bikes that were stolen.

I'm not familiar with that area but I would look for small, shady bike shops. The one that really got the ball rolling for us was in the middle of the ghetto. Also, keep a close watch on craigslist. Look for ads that were posted a few weeks ago, they will post first, try to find a buyer that doesn't ask too many questions then go get the bike.

Again, sorry to hear that you had to go through this. It's a pain that is tough to truly grasp unless you are unfortunate enough to have to experience it. Best of luck and hope you are able to find it. I will keep my eyes open in my part of town.
