Stolen this morning. Pearl ET4 150. Scratches to right body, stickers...scooter envy, a warning that riding causes euphoria, & KEXP seattle radio station sticker. I miss my baby already, & have no other bike(AmeriVespa 08 next week here in Chattanooga!) Any help appreciated.

STOLEN in chattanooga
thanks, even a little emotional support helps. My baby is the first new vehicle I ever bought, & people I know laughed at me for getting it. Now with gas prices there's been a rash of scooter thefts here. Live & learn, there is lojack for bikes. If/when I get it back or get a new one, will definitely get it.

Put one of these in front of the garage door to stop enemy Combatants (just kidding) ........also.......lets hope the dumbass shows up next week at AmeriVespa.........IT will be like the the scene in a Hard Days Night when the crowd started to chase the Beatles threw central London...

This is my worst fear since I live in the ghetto and I don't have a garage. I bolt it to the back of my car and hope for the best! If it gets stolen I won't replace it until I have a garage.

I really hope you get your scooter back or at least the chance to kick the ass of the person who stole it.

will post photo as soon as am home. At the apartments, there's no way to tie it to my car, but is 05, supposedly you can't start it without the key (is in my pocket). Had to pick it up & load it into another vehicle. I hope if they do get it running they do try riding at AmeriVespa, would be found, but wish them no harm. It may have been wasted effort for them if they can't get it started. If they realize that, I hope they leave it where it can be found & that it isn't completely trashed. Just want it back.

Wow--it's not even my scooter and I wish them a slow, agonizing death for the despair they have caused you and probably scores of others.

I live in an apartment building, too. I have a little ring on the back of my car that use supposed to be used for towing it out of a ditch, I assume, but I run the lock thru that and thru my Vespa and the ring on the cover. It doesn't take up more room than the parking space, itself. I back my car into the space so the Vespa is behind my car. It does make it harder for thieves to see, I hope.

I'll try to take a picture to show how I do it if this description is wonkey.

Buddhist Vespa rider, is all. Haven't found photo, but a local locksmith did remember a call on the day it got stolen about a scooter. The two people it took to steal it probably wanted it for themselves & will hopefully next try a shop in the area. Am not necessarily a good Buddhist, as am attatched to my bike Crying or Very sad emoticon

So sorry! In addition to the police report, you should let Stan and Jen at Scenic City Scooters know to be on the lookout for it.

I hope you find it before AmeriVespa but of course there will be plenty of us who will let you hop on our scooters at the rally.

Thanks, Bobo. Notified all local scooter shops Saturday. Not one to sit back & do nothing. Already raised h*** with apartment manager, too. They are cleaning overgrowth from the bicycle rack nearest my apartment so when I get it back or replace it, will have a place to lock it up. Will have to find a ride to AmeriVespa, was just going to do rides I could unregistered anyway.
