Gone, my snowmobiles.
 
Went out for 2 hours this morning, came back home.
Both my snowmobiles have been stolen.

In all the years in England I never once had a snowmobile stolen.

Bad luck dude.

What kinda crime-ridden sink of a place is this?! You should move to Britain where bobbies on bicycles drink warm beer on the village cricket green. ;)

Oh No! They'd get done for drink driving.

Yep, just put it down in 'the report''. Don't expect anything to happen, just going through the motions. Irony of it is I only registered them yesterday from the previous owner, then insured them. I phoned the insurance company this afternoon and she hadn't even put the paperwork through yet, so it's going to look REALLY good to the claims people.

"Oh yes sir, so you just arrived from the UK, purchased 2 snowmobiles from someone who's previous address is the same as yours, they both get stolen the day after you register and insure them, along with the trailer they're so conveniently sat on, in broad daylight?"

I suspect the previous owners, who have just received payment.

They knew where they were, they knew what they were worth. Go and visit them at their new pad and have a look in their garage :blink:

I'm suspicious me :sneaky:

One of them is a RMCP officer, and they only took half the money as I told them I wouldn't have the rest till our house in the UK was sold. Thing is my wife doesn't know I bought 2, she thinks it's just the 1. Good job she's in England still. I was only out for 2 hours from 10 till midday so someone must have been watching and knew we'd gone out.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the insurance. Is this a common crime your neck of the woods? Karma sent.
