    Doesn't mean I don't like or agree with it lol... I just understand the criminal mindset and that's how they operate. Shady AF and spiteful, unclear thought processes without thinking of what's next or what about the impacts of what they are currently doing and generally the "nothing to lose" mentality.

    If you have surveillance, go that route. But don't pursue. Confront, maybe, but never pursue.

    I agree with everything you say....except that most guys I know (me included) would find it extremely hard not to confront and pursue.......I know there are risks, but still.......

    Training and discipline sir. We all want that bad guy to be caught, but if it means going on trial and most likely putting others in danger, not worth the risk. There are "certified" people for that and they just love laws.

    It's just sad to see this being so common. And worse, now it seems more vehicle fires are being reported due to it too.

    A PSA for the newer Talon’s Garage protection plate. There are two “wing extensions” on the plate. I verified with Shaun at TG that the plates are to be installed as shown with the larger end toward the front and angled outward. I had my mine on the opposite side causing the angle to go in.
    Here is a pic of the proper install orientation of the extensions.

    Yup. It's more worth it to them to go to a quieter place which in theory is less risky of injury or worse if they are caught in the act.

    This.

    I've been guilty of that as well, though when I go out with my bike I usually keep it by my side or strapped down in the bed when driving.

    You would think by now auto manufacturers would just make a steel cover, probably would add 50 bucks to the total cost, they would of course charge 2-300.....

    My neighbor had his lifted at 3:00 AM right in his driveway. His dog barked but he did not think anything of it until it was gone.....May have to make something or go with the RCI plates.

    I placed an order for the RCI cat extensions

    I’m going to see if I can install them to the bend on my CBI skids. The bend looks very similar to RCI skid
