I got robbed for my equinox 800 and my electric bike

[romyrome]

Woke up this morning to find my garage had been broken into and they stole the stuff I had in my car . My Brand new e-bike I had only ridden twice and my only detector besides a old whites PI I’m so lost as to how I will recover these items

 

[MSCguy]

Very sorry to hear this. Any possibility homeowners/renter insurance can offset some of the loss? Keep an eye out for the detector of places like Facebook Marketplace etc. Unlikely they have an interest in using it, so will try to flip it quickly.

Very sorry to hear this.

That sucks, thats pretty much the reason why I have only ever kept my Ace 400 in the car even though I've always had more capable detectors, not that I wouldn't care if it was stolen but at least I wouldn't be out $800+ Do you think neighbors might have doorbell footage ? Also keep an eye on facebook marketplace or craigslist, odds are they'll try selling it there

Thanks bud I called the cops so I’m gonna file a report and see if renters insurance will cover it, But huge update they did steal a metal detector but my equinox was not spotted as it was kinda hidden in the back of the garage! Thank god but they got my winter storm machine my whites PI metal detector and a e-bike I’ve ridden twice, but they have no key ? I’m tempted to go look around some of the homeless camps near by but I’m waiting for the police to show up and god knows how long that will be thanks everyone

You won't.

It makes me wonder what made them break in. It's really ballsy to break into someones garage or house. Hope that you have good friends and such. The e-bike is big enough to be seen with the door open I guess. I am the type to be suspicious. Did they literally BREAK in?

 

[diggin4clad]

Sorry to hear about the break-in. My home was burglarized in 2009 and fortunately they didn't get my coin collection or detecting finds. They smashed in the door to my deck and got a TV and some other items. The police told me to check around all the area's pawn shops. Yeah, right.......I bought a new TV instead.

Good luck with the police........they'll make a report and that'll be the end of what they do for you.

They were probably after the E-bike and while they were in the garage they spotted the detector.....I wouldn't be surprised if the burglars were from your neighborhood.

Sounds like you rent? Does the landlord have cameras? Maybe a neighbor caught something if there are any in your area.
E-bikes are a huge theft item around here!

Some years ago I loaned some portable photo studio gear to a friend photographing a wedding. While parked at a restaurant it was stolen from his car along with his cameras.
My gear was pretty specific and rather uncommon.
Few months later he saw it on eBay about 75 miles away. He was a police officer and he contacted police in the other city. Some things were recovered and eBay replaced some of it too.
Sorry to hear about your circumstance.

 

[Cherry Picker]

Sorry for your loss my friend.

That is why I have two big dogs, a 130 lb Pitbull, and a 120 lb Great Pyrenees, and lots of beware of dog, and no trespassing signs.

 

[Martin_V3i]

Sorry, I assumed that your personal garage was broken into. I'm a homeowner. Two car garage.

Motion alarms and a Mossberg M590-A,cameras for the last moments of their life.

 

[romyrome]

You won't.

Probably not as I’ve never gotten back anything that was stolen unless I took it into my own hands .

Yeah i believe this too . They knew what I had and targeted me .

I have a few neighbors I’ve asked to check there cameras .

Yeah unfortunately the garage isn’t attached to my apartment or my dog would have been barking for sure

Yeah my best friend recommended motion alarms too . I will have too look into that

 

[Xxray]

I have an alarm in my garage that not only alarms but sends an alert to your phone as well. Can put a battery backup if you want but I have mine out of reach so they can't just rip the wires out or unplug it. I think its like $35 a year for the sim card for phone alerts and is as loud as a banshee, well worth it. Comes with 4 sensors but I only use 2, my garage isn't that big and I don't want any outside setting off false alarms, you arm/disarm with a keychain remote or phone.

My son told me when in high school there were certain elements that called that Garage Shopping. They would just walk around the neighborhood looking for open garage doors and go after high ticket items. They especially liked really nice golf bags and clubs. Always keep your garage door down. An officer told me once the thugs get into your garage, they use your tools to break into the house and get the nice goodies. Drive their car into your garage close the garage door and load up their car in private.

Be sure to give the bike description (photo would be better) and serial number to any pawn and bike shops in the area.

That REALLY blows! So sorry brother! Any luck getting them back yet?
