A friend of mine had his 2011 Thunder Gray BMW S1000RR stolen between 1 and 6am this morning on eagle street directly across from the governors mansion. The bike was locked up and covered any help getting this thing back would be nice. 1700-1800 miles on it, no chicken strip left on rear tire, all stock still. ![http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9086/22316614983701174611780.jpg](http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9086/22316614983701174611780.jpg) By [midthrust](http://profile.imageshack.us/user/midthrust) at 2011-06-22 ---

It’s going to be hard to tell a stock bike apart if we see it for sale or in a group somewhere ☹ ---

Wow, that sucks. When you said “locked up”, do you mean it is locked up inside a structure? or just locked up but parked on the street? ---

It was locked with a 3/4 cable with a cover on it. The cover and seat were lying on the ground next to the cut cable. ---

Is the VIN tag easily visible from outside? ---

It was stock. Like my friend above said, the rear tire was worn to the edges, and there was a deep scratch in the area the the left seat screw would be. ---

The cover and seat were lying on the ground next to the cut cable. Are you the owner? Just wondering. Most likely the bike will be parted out. I would post on the S1000RR forums and all the club racing forums to have people watch out for parts and or bike with no title. Also I would post up the VIN of the bike and make people aware of it. ---
