NATIONAL MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM TROPHIES STOLEN DURING BURGLARY - SUBSTANTIAL REWARD OFFERED.

At around 11.00pm last evening (27/08) the inner foyer of the National Motorcycle Museum was broken into and a large amount of the Museum’s trophies & TT replicas stolen.

Each of the Museums trophy cabinets was smashed causing substantial damage to the displays.

Many of the trophies and TT replicas have little “scrap” value but are unique and irreplaceable as part of this countries Motorcycling Heritage.

Because of the historical importance of these trophies the National Motorcycle Museum will be offering a substantial award of £20,000 for information which leads to the safe recovery of these important artefacts.

Anyone with any relevant information is asked to contact West Midlands Police or the National Motorcycle Museum on 01675 443311 or e-mail Museum Director James Hewing james@thenmm.co.uk

The Museum has re-opened as normal this morning. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Bloody low life,we are too soft in this country.
After the fire i did get the job of re making the Racing cast wheels for the Nortons.
 Hope they dont just crush and scrap them.

Let's hope that whichever smelter they offer these to for scrap (no doubt along with WWI memorial plaques and statues) will have the decency not to proceed. I doubt the perpetrators will heed any appeal to historical decency and probably don't (can't) read the PR offering £20,000 reward. Sadly, I doubt all of what I've just said and we'll never see them again.... I sincerely hope I'm wrong!

Real shame, but dont they have any security?
Nothing of any value can be left anywhere these days.  Folk don't care about history etc, especially English heritage.  Hope they are caught, but will probably get off with a nasty slapped wrist.
