That's too bad. Getting one's stuff stolen can take the fun out of an event. Now, here in San Antonio, Texas, theft of property from vehicles is such a problem and so common, we have billboards around town reminding drivers not to leave anything valuable visible in the car. It happened to my wife. I take the approach of not leaving anything in the car/Spyder that I'm unwilling to lose.

Makes me sad to hear that we have become targets.. I NEVER leave anything unlocked when I park.. Old habits are sometimes good habits

Sure seemed odd at how uninterested the staff was about it all. I suppose in reality it IS an individual's duty to report theft. We changed all of our banking account info today. Didn't lose anything, but our checkbook was laying out on a seat of the truck. Grrr.....hopefully the thieves got rained on during their expedition through vehicles...after all, we seemed to get rained on every day....LOL
See ya next year..lesson learned I guess

If you never attend Spyderfest you will be missing out on one of the best yearly events put on strictly for Spyder Owners.
Don't let one minor incident ruin your fun.
This could happen anywhere, even inside your home.

This kind of thing can happen anywhere.. to anyone. Not gonna stop me from coming.
At Sturgis there have been cases of bikes being stolen... 4 guys... two poles... pick it up and move it onto a trailer....
Some common sense helps:
Park your bike in a well lit area.
Keep an eye on it and the area as well as people wandering about.
Lock it.
Don't leave valuables on or in it.
Carry good insurance.
And no... don't try and be Rambo and shoot someone messing with your bike.... that's the worst idea ever. There's always plenty of people at Spyderfest carrying guns around... certainly doesn't deter anyone from breaking into bikes, nor would we want a shootout in the parking lot.
Did I mention to carry good insurance?
I've been to all 8 Spyderfests and never had a problem. My GPS was on my bike the first few days at Spyderfest this year. After hearing of the break-ins at the Best Western I went and pulled it off the bike. I never did hear of any issues at the Lamplighter. We stayed at the Candlewood behind the Lamplighter this year and it was great... MUCH nicer place and rooms. We did manage to party most nights at the Lamplighter though.

Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

I stayed at the Candlewood Suites. My room was next to an exit and on the back side. I asked about whether they had a back parking lot since it would be closer to my room. They told me that they had a back parking lot but asked me to park in the front lot because it would be patrolled. They also suggested that I not leave any valuables in my vehicle. Common sense stuff to me.

A bike cover will help, no need to remove a cover when there are so many other uncovered bikes to choose from.

My wife and I stayed at the Coach House during Spyderfest. The night of the burglaries both of our F3-Ts were hit. She had left her saddlebags unlocked. The thief left both bags
open. Luckily, she only left a small first aid kit in her bags and it was untouched. Ironically, I had empty bags that were locked and found the plastic release latch snapped off in an attempt to break in. I spoke briefly with Pitbull's service people. they think it may be about a $100 part plus labor. On a lighter note, we had a wonderful time. Thanks to MoGang for all their work. We also found the people at all the passport stops to be very friendly and welcoming.
