"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."

You've got to be joking! I don't understand why a thief would want a trophy that wasn't theirs, what a tool! I hate bike thieves.

All of those priceless motorcycles and the morons go for the trophies?
Wow

What can you do with a Trophy that is clearly stolen? You can't display in public, there seems to be no point in it... Makes no sense....

Considering where it is I think it's likely to be just drug addicts looking for money or anything they can sell for a fix. I grew up near here.

Hahahaha
