National Motorcycle Museum hit by vandals
A place that so many Aussies have visited over the years has been attacked by miscreants, who stole a bunch of irreplaceable trophies and TT replicasThe National Motorcycle Museum in the UK has been broken into, with a large amount of the museum's trophies and TT replicas stolen. The incident took place about 11:00pm on Wednesday, August 27 in the inner foyer of the museum.
All of the museum's trophy cabinets were 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 the UK's motorcycling heritage.
Because of the historical importance of the 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 - and in this day and age it could be anyone around the globe - is asked to contact e-mail Museum Director James Hewing james@thenmm.co.uk.
The museum re-opened as normal the following day.
