Thieves are morons...? That's putting it nicely. Don't know that I'll come across one, but I'll keep my eyes open. I'm currently riding a 2001 T-800 (the last one they made that year....got it right before it went to the paint booth - meaning I got to pick between the burnt yellow or green color....!). I've really come to like mine alot, don't really understand why I don't hear of more people singing their praises. Better than decent ride !

I'm sorry for your friend. I've never suffered this problem and hopefully I won't ever, but you never know .
