Default Someone Stole My Left Rearset!!

OK so I parked my bike thursday night in my apt. parking lot, with my car blocking it in. Moved the car a couple times to do stuff like go to work and what not. Go out tonight to move the bike to a better location in the parking lot, go to click out of N when I find out there's no left rearset! WHAT THE ****!?

Seriously, who steals a stock rearset? I mean I know a stunter or whatever or someone who had just crashed and needed the part, but c'mon! The funny thing is that I had broken part of the lever on that side in a fall a few months ago and was in the process of buying either vortex rearsets or a new stock rearset and riser plates (to move them up 1" and back 1"). So really it's a minor inconvenience, but still. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT OVER???

Yeah I know the bike is filthy, I worked 58 hours last week get off my back lol

No they didn't hack it off as far as I know, the shifter rod screws into that black part of the linkage. Up close it doesn't look like it was sawed off.

thats really messed up but it happens all the time unfortunately
I was at a bike shop in Tennessee I think talking to the parts guys and they told me that just a couple weeks before they caught somebody trying to steal one of the stock rearsets off of a bike in the showroom
I mean they actually saw him removing the bolts and trying to remove the linkage
some people are just f'ed up

Years ago, my friends and I used to play a game called "ruff it off" with each other's Nintendo games. I think you should look at your friends.

There's only one person who knows where my bike is really, and he does know about me needing to buy a new left rearset anyways, I don't think he would steal it off my bike. He is kind of a tool, but I just don't think that would happen.
