So, this happened to me yesterday

[dangermark]

I came out to my bike preparing for my morning commute to work and it wouldn't start.  After fiddling around and some investigation, I noticed this;



Some kind, upstanding citizen had cut and stolen the cables (on both sides) from the ignition coils. Was parked outside my house on a quiet street in a good area (Leichhardt are Sydney). Either i've managed to really annoy someone or this is more sinister. My neighbours have never complained about noise and are generally pretty cool, i'm running the stock muffler so it really shouldn't be a noise issue but you never know.

In other news, i'm trying to source 2 new ignition coil assemblies in Sydney. Anyone?

That's when you hide a camera trained on your bike and wait to catch the bastard trying something again.

[GI JOE]

Why would someone go through the trouble to do that? I mean if it were someone annoyed it'd be worse to take a leak in the muffler, clog it up bad, or something.
Agree with bomb, personal security camera.

My first thought was who did you piss off? My next thought was that it was probably a meth-head looking to get as much copper/scrap metal as possible with as little effort as possible to sell for cash to buy more meth.

.. oh great and mighty Peter!! .. or should we refer to you as Saint Peter?!?!  ... please tell us the secret of how in the hell you got away with that one?!?! ... 

unless of course you are single... in which case i am still jealous of inside house parking but the reasoning is far easier to fathom!

maybe they just wanted the plug ends since they went through the trouble to pull them off
