I agree, I think a little snip of the cable and you could move the bike pretty far.

If the garage was broken into, someone knew what they were looking for. Good luck on the recovery.
There is no reason for a dealer to ask for proof of ownership. If dealers did, the thieves would just order the parts online. Ordering and installing a DESS module, ignition switch is not that hard. No need for BUDS at anytime during this process. There is no need for a dealer master key when installing a new DESS module either.

Update
From the horses mouth....
My Spyder is officially a total loss to theft. However, the insurance company and I have settled and I'm planning to get what is now officially my 4th Can-Am Spyder RS model this Friday. State Farm is the insurance company and they were more than fair during this ordeal. They didn't quite pay off the stolen Spyder but close enough to allow me to get a replacement.
Where I live I have two parking spaces that are less than 25 feet from my front door. They sit adjacent to a side road that leads to a main road. You can't see the Spyder at all from the main road. This is where my Spyder was stolen from in a 6 hr time frame between 2 AM and 8 AM on Sunday Jan 19th. I did not have the handlebars locked nor did I have the emergency brake on (never did before this event). For those that do not realize the RS has non-electronic E brake. Since this happened I've also learned how easy it is to bypass both with relative ease. 30 days was what I was told by the insurance company it would take to conduct an investigation (standard procedure) and sure enough on day 30 after the theft the settlement was reached.
Since the Spyder was stolen I have become familiar with bike alarm systems. They will never prevent a theft, only offer a level of deterrence but something is better than nothing. I'm having not one but two different styles installed on my new Spyder. A Scorpio SR-I900 and a Xena XX6-SS disc lock. Both have very loud alarms. Both are sensitive to vibration and movement. The Scorpio has the added proximity sensor, with a remote. I may not stop a thief but it sure will be noisy if they try this again.
I almost hung up my Spyder keys forever over this. Taking away something that I am so passionate about has changed me forever. This is the longest I've gone without riding a Spyder since April 2010 since I ride all year long. I do not wish this on anyone. Like most everyone else I never thought this would happen. I have been humbled by this ordeal.

Sorry you had to go through this . . . but I'm glad your insurance company came through. I hope to meet you in October when I attend the Ohio Spyder Ryder Rally with the Maryland Spyder Web.

If the cable cutters can Overcome the Electric Parking Brake-Can they also render the Steering Lock useless? How hard to defeat the steering lock?

Rob, I'm sorry for your loss. At the same time I'm glad you were able to reach a settlement with the insurance agent.

Sorry for the loss, try not to let it discourage your love for spyders by some low life A** . Good luck in the future with your next choice.

Now, go get you that new Spyder! Just don't look for a yellow one. I think the paint is in scarce supply.
