Seems this is becoming VERY common in Nor Cal these days. Friend sent this to me.
Good Morning...... This is an FYI, warning, beware, ect. For those who ride touring bikes with hard saddle bags it seems to be the new thing to steal them. This was witnessed first hand the other night, after a meeting that I was attending, several people who rode their bikes came out to discover that all their hard saddle bags had been STOLEN! All were locked,somehow the thieves were able to remove the pins( that hold them on) from the outside!You might want to look into something to secure your bags and property, as people lost valuable items that were inside their bags as well. Be aware and hope that it doesn't happen to you!
