[visordown.com] - TT trophies stolen from National Motorcycle Museum
OVER 100 trophies worth tens of thousands of pounds have been stolen from the National Motorcycle Museum. Almost the entire collection of trophies, including some from the TT, were taken during a break-in at the museum in Solihull at about 11pm on Wednesday. A £20,000 reward has been offered by the museum for information leading to safe recovery of the trophies, which it said were ‘unique and irreplaceable as part of this country's motorcycling heritage’. All the museum’s trophy cabinets were smashed, causing ‘substantial damage’. The thieves will be unable to sell the trophies, according to museum director James Hewing. He said: ‘If you tried to sell them to a specialist or via one of the specialist auctioneers, everybody would know what they were. ‘It would appear that it's been done.... for the value of the metal, of the silver. ‘The stupid thing is of course a lot of them weren't silver. They're either silver plate or nickel.’ Related Content National Motorcycle Museum celebrates 30 years National Motorcycle Museum plans 250-room hotel Ultra-rare Ducati collection up for auction Ride to Work Day: let's make it better Top 10 motorcycle theft hotspots Click here for full story...
