ATV Florida Forum

It has been brought to my attention that members of the MDPD have indulged a great deal of time into slander about me in regards to my persistent stride in locating my stolen four wheeler and stopping a group of ATV thieves. I wish that the time and energy they have and continue to spend on talking about someone who reached out to the county officials when the local police department did not do anything, on actually doing something about stolen ATVs. Then upstanding citizens who become deprived of their property would not have to reach out any further then their local police department!

ATV theft in Dade County is a major problem. An end needs to be put to it. Something needs to be done! In different counties through out the state the police and citizen groups have come together and arrested several thieves. The ideas from other areas have been given to our local police and each idea shot down like the one before it!

The ATV enthusiasts of Dade County would like to know what is going to be done to change the rise is ATV theft?

THEY RATHER SPEND MONEY ON HELICOPTERS AND RAIDS TRING TO CATCH US TRASPASING ON OUR BIKES INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER REAL CRIMINALS. OH WAIT WE ARE TRASPASSING, THAT TAKES PRIORITY OF ROBBERY, KILLING AND DRUG DEALING.

Catching thieves is difficult, I'm sad to say. Especially when there's no paper trail, witnesses, or surveilance footage.

For a law enforcement official to catch the theives who stole your work would require good old fashioned police work.

Without a snitch to rat out who stole your ATV, you're pretty much out of luck. (That's pretty much what it comes down to these days)

Your only other hope is that they find a cache of stolen vehicles and yours turns out to be one of them.

Hopefully, you have your vehicle ID number registered with them so that if they do stumble on your ATV, you'll get the call.


Good Luck

They don't give a sh*t about your ATV unless they have to leave the donut shop to ticket you for riding it.  When we got our tickets near tallahasee, they didn't run the vin #'s, even after we told them all four of us didn't have ID on us.  Granted we don't fit the profile of a lowlife thug, but we were sitting on probably 25k of offroad fury, and we didn't get stopped by real cops, but 2 glorified birdwatchers with crackerjack badges, but you think that at least one of those dipshits would have thought to run the numbers.

Friends had bikes stolen from big scrub 1 guy was caught tring to sell one of the bikes at a bike shop ,he told police who the guy was he bought it from ,that guy confesses and police let him go saying there is not enough evidence?WTF?so far a 2005trx 90 was recovered along with a 198? quad sport (found in woods abandoned) 250 dirt bike(the one from the bike shop). a 2003 raptor ,pw80 and a 2005 trx 450r still missing almost two years later.The head investegator on the case has since retired.

I gave police everything names, addresses, vechicle descriptions, tag numbers, marraige certificates, showed them a bunch of striped frames, I even called them when I caught the people back on my property. NOTHING HAPPENED!

I will not stop until something happens.

From now on everyone please include in your police statements that there was a fresh box of donuts under the seat. This might help!

I am going to go out on a limb here and just say that although the ATV thefts are a crime and this happened to me as well, blasting every cop on the planet with the donut jokes is just plain immature and childlike. You may have to take this in your own hands sometimes. If something really bad happened, a serious crime where it endangered your person or someone you loved, who you going to call? Not someone on this site? Other people read these posts as well, Government officials, elected officials, police, SFWM etc. No wonder they all think we are a bunch of backwards, trash talking idiots. Thay can pass restrictions on riding areas and access at will because people on here don't give a crap either. Just like the cops don't give a crap about the stolen bikes. I have had 2 stolen myself. But calling the cops names is not getting it done. Its not even funny. Im done.

Where do you guys keep your quads that get stolen all the time?   I keep mine in the garage so I'm thinking that a safe spot.

One of the places listed is the major issue and no police will do anything about it! I just sent you and email to your email not a private message.

It does not matter where they are kept if someone wants them they will take them. They cut lock, poison animals, break into anything. They will do what it takes.

Yup, and if you wire up some dynamite mad max style under the seat, you are the bad guy.
What a world...

We keep dog food in our garage incase someone breaks in and can't figure a way out.

It reminds me of a incident that happened in The Keys...

A guy robbed a house on the way out fell down the stairs and broke his leg. He sewed the people he robbered cause he fell down their stairs on his own. They were not even home. He was not charged with the robbery.

Someone steals your property and you do something to them your the one in trouble and what they did is over looked!

Their family will have to sue, because if I catch them in the act "they're dead"!

I have been waiting for now 2 weeks for a date and time for a meeting with MDPD Sub#4. I have even reminded them...

More proof that they want nothing to do with helping...
