Post subject:  Jet Ski was stolen

I just had my 2001 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 150 stolen in Niagara Falls on Sunday. It was attached to the back of my car on a trailer and someone took it.

If anyone sees anything, if they could please email me at paulm@citycan.com immediately and let me know so I can inform the police.

I have attached pics. The seat cover on it is VERY rare as I had to have an American dealer special order it. The machine is rare to begin with, so if you see one with that seat cover on it, there is a strong chance it is mine. If it has a superman logo on that back, then it IS mine! hahaha

The cover is a faded red with 'JET SKI' in very large blue letters on the sides. I don't have any pics of it with the cover on, unfortunately.

If anyone sees anything this long weekend, please let me know! Thanks!

Okay... not sure why those pics aren't coming up. Maybe someone who knows how to post photos on here will be able to put them up for me ;)

Sorry to hear that Paul. I copy and pasted one of the URL's and the pic came up. Very nice sea-doo! Did someone just lift it off your trailer hitch at night or something? That's crazy! I hope you get it back, I'll keep an eye out for sure.

i took a look around different craigslist sites today and didn't come up with any that matched the pics. I'll keep my eye out for you though.

When i see a beautiful ride like that, it deserves to be with its owner. Hope you get it back man and good luck

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you find it soon.

I have uploaded the three pics on my server (plz let me know if you want me to remove it). I tried linking it to the site you are hosting your pics, but it didn't work, which is why I uploaded to my server to link it from there.

Regards,

Wow!
For a 2001, that's in GREAT condition!


Thanks. The pics are a few years old, but the condition of it is not far off what you see in the pics. I take really good care of it.

I just spent $850 in repairs on Saturday and another $380 to put a hitch on my car Friday. That is the part that sucks the most! hahaha

It was stolen overnight from a hotel parking lot in Niagara Falls. We asked the guy behind the front desk three times if there were cameras on the lot and he assured us that there were. In the morning, he told us that the cameras were not on that lot, but on the lot on the other side of the building. He knew why we were asking as the first question was do you have room to park a car and seadoo.

Wow that's really fishy that you asked the desk about security and he misled you like that. He'd be my first suspect, he could have easily called one of his buddies to steal it knowing no cameras in that area....

I would go after the hotel for compensation.
Good luck in getting it back.

I will keep my eyes open for it, should not be too hard to miss.

That's exactly what I was thinking.


Yeah, a lot of people have suggested that possibility. He was asked a bunch of times and he told us to park in that lot. He called me at 6:30 in the morning to tell me that it was gone and that he does a walk around the building every hour. He said it was there at 4-4:30 and then gone when he walked around again. That is a 2.5 hour gap. When we told this to police, all he said was that the guy probably doesn't do his walk around the building every hour as he is supposed to and he didn't seem to think the hotel clerk was a suspect.

That's a nice machine, sorry to hear. Were you towing it with the Jeep?

I also have a feeling the hotel bastard clerk was involved.

Good luck finding it. Does one need to buy insurance for those, and if so, will/can you be compensated?

Thanks. I got rid of the Jeep a little over a year ago. I was towing with my Lexus.

The insurance for PWC doesn't cover theft of that type supposedly. Only if it is stolen from a locked garage, or some BS like that. However, I can claim up to $1000 on my homeowners insurance. Big deal, the machine AS IS is worth about $5,000 with the trailer.... at least. Better than nothing though I guess. I still remain optimistic I will get it back. We'll see.

Follow the hotel guy home and put a note on his window

"I know what you did last weekend"

Then if he looks spooked, make it a point to come by his work on a rainy night and wear a trenchcoat and smoke a cigarette.
