Man... worst feeling ever.Â* My bike was stolen from my work (GLENDALE ADVENTIST MEDICAL CENTER) sometime during the evening/early morning hours.Â* Got off work around 8AM this morning and head down to the employee structure to where i usually park the motorcycle.Â* I came down the stairs and around the corner to find my bike missing... thinking in my head i might have parked it elsewhere i roamed the employee parking structure and found nothing.Â* At this point im getting angry at myself for deciding to ride to work last night as i usually don't but decided to anyway.Â* Stupid me for leaving it unattended in a secured/employee parking structure.
Bike was gone so i head over to hospital security and talked to the security manager whom i know.Â* Discussed what happened and we walk over to the area where i parked my bike.Â* We roamed the area and we walk over to the emergency exit which is closed off.Â* The little gate that closes the exit was cut and the permament cones that close the driveway were easily knocked over.Â* He said this is unusual in the structure and a first.Â* He said he's had cars stolen around the hospital but never in the structure.Â* There are 3 cameras in the structure.Â* One in the primary entrance, one in the primary exit and another on the first two floors.Â* I was parked in the 3rd floor... no cameras and none around the emergency exit.
So we drive around and found nothing.Â* At this point i've come to the realization that my bike is gone.Â* We contacted Glendale Police and they took down all my information and my story.Â* They saw the gate and told me this was where they came in and out.Â* Picked up the bike and threw it into a van or truck.Â* He told me bikes are easy targets and if left unattended no security lock will keep them from taking it.Â* I knew that and i took the risk of riding to work.Â* I've ridden to work numerous times and im highly suspicious it was probably an employee or exemployee of the hospital.
Got the report and contacted my insurance.Â* The bike was completely stock and in immaculate condition.Â* It pains me to know that some jack@ss thief is out there with my bike probably stripping it and selling it off for parts.Â* I know it won't be recovered but im hopeful.Â* There is nothing on the motorcycle to distinguish it from other R1's as it was completely stock.Â* It had two locks on her, a disc brake lock and the stock handle bar lock.
Please for those in the Glendale and surrounding areas be on the lookout for a 08 RED YAMAHA R1.Â* Here are a few pictures.
