Background info:
So Monday night I spent the night at the gf's house and parked my bike on the street. There was a car on my right and no other cars to the left (red curb). I left a lot of room for the car on my right just in case he wanted to get out. I went inside approx at 10pm and went to bed around midnight. I had to leave early the next day because I had work in the morning and I wanted to go home and take a shower first before I went to work. So at around 5am in the morning, I get on my bike (still parked the same way... or so I thought), went home, and parked her in the garage. Mind you, it was early in the morning so it was still dark, so I didn't really notice anything unusual about the bike except for the fact that it was in first gear and would not go into neutral until I started the bike. I thought nothing of it and took my car to work that day.
Fast forward to today...
I had to go to traffic court today and figured I'd take my bike to work since it was a pretty nice day. I get on my bike as usual and start backing out of my garage. (I have a 1-car garage and only I have access to it) As I'm backing out, I notice that my right side mirror is folded in. Weird I say... so I folded it back out and that's when I noticed some nasty scratches on my mirror assembly. I'm like WTFFFF, I didn't hit anything and I sure as hell never dropped it. When I got to work, I took a closer look at my bike and this really pissed me off:
Right side mirror assembly:
Right side frame slider:
Right side hard bag:
Closer look of the hard bag reflector:
Closer look at the bottom part of the hard bag:
Right side muffler:
Now I'm upset and this sh*t has successfully pissed me the f*ck off!!! :angry:
I figured it happened when I parked on the street that night. Somebody either hit my bike, or tipped it over, and figured they'd put it back upright and hopefully I wouldn't notice? WTF!!!! :angry:
And of course, no note or anything.
I went to the local Yamaha dealer today and got pricing on the damaged parts. Approx $1400 just for the parts, not including labor.
Then I went to the local police station and filed a report for the damage.
Called my insurance company (Geico) too and they'll set me up with an adjuster in the next couple of days. They said I wouldn't be at fault and all I'd have to pay is my $200 deductible.
It's not about the money, just the principle of the dang thing. I swear, most people I see nowadays have no respect for other people's property.
I swear if I ever caught anybody messing with my sh*t again, I'd just give 'em a beatdown. :angry:
That's it, I'm done. Thanks for letting me vent.
