Absolutely terrible. People in the thread suggested that a guard or guard dog would have helped, but I am doubtful. With professionals, a dead body or two probably just comes with the territory. It's hard to say what kind of preparations would have improved the odds without costing a truckload of cash. Maybe battery-powered halogen security lamps? Motion sensors that make a lot of noise?

short of a gun battle I think theses thieves know exactly what they were doing and it was completely planed and executed. The only thing that would have stopped them was making it so hard they moved to the next dealer down the road.

Wow, hate to hear that. This was pretty definitely a pro group, local kids or ? would have gotten one or two and left a mess.
A Harley shop outside of Myrtle Beach got hit by pros several years ago. They used a truck with a 'Tommy Lift', they backed up to a cinder block wall and knocked a hole through it with the truck, then loaded up bikes. They never were caught AFAIK.

Pros for sure. Something similar happened in my area a few years ago. A warehouse had some brand new forklifts, over a long weekend someone backed a tractor trailer up to one of the dock doors and used a saw to cut the door out from inside the trailer. By the time the cops we're called those forklifts were probably already in a sea container headed for the caribbean or South America. That's probably where those KTMs are headed.
