So Cal Ducati parked outside

[silentbob]

You gotta be fooking kiddin me! WTF is going on here?
I just went and locked my shit down.

I gave up on the parking garage and started driving the bike right inside the apartment.



Now I have a place with a private garage.

On a more positive note, Ducatis are way down on the list of stolen motorcycles.  Late model Japanese superbikes have an average lifespan of 3 months in San Diego.

I wish I could bring mine it but leaseclearly states no motored vehicles inside the unit. Besides the elevator is shaped oddly.

I like the Ducati low profile. A buddy of mine told me that bikes are stolen here then brought to TJ shortly after. Cool scam, but bad to be a victim.

Did they steal your bike from the garage?

not that time.... key was in it too...
the investigating officers said they were in and out quick.
they took nothing larger than one person could carry.

it's freaky knowing someone was scoping out the house, and going through our stuff.

we have a security system now

I know. I grew up in the city where you have to keep your wits up for survival then I moved to the burbs and got soft a bit. Gratefully I'm back in a city and kinda like obsessive self security.

Strange balance of visual to see a $16K bike in a Kitchen with a $13. strip light above the sink !

sadly this is true. that is why lojack is pretty worthless here, being 20 mins from mexico, they just get it down there, and lojack doesnt do squat for ya. except you get your money back that you paid for the lojack, woohoo    i say your best bet is to try and be friendly to the security guards and ask them to keep a good eye on your bike.  i used to have to park in a garage and i would bring the night guard food every so often.

I worked and lived in Sorrento Valley in the late 90's.  Our single entrance/exit parking garage at work (Lusk Blvd) was losing a car a week for a while during the summer.  Posted a security guard - nothing changed.  The 20 min ride to Tj is the problem.
