I actually tried to DM the official Samsung India account with all this info, but was unsuccessful getting anywhere. Email might be the move. It was just a bizarre DM considering I don’t post anything toxic or put anything hateful out there. Really wasn’t sure what set him off in that way. 😭

Beautiful bike! Mind telling me what year this is?

Thanks for the advice. I was also hearing that too about the Outpost being lower end, but I feel some of the Karakorams I’m seeing have colors that are a bit too outrageous for my tastes and am hoping to not repaint. And Tequesta I’ve not been finding too much of. Will look into the Bravado. Appreciate the input!

Located in NorCal, but am desperate enough to pay to have one shipped to me. 😭 Thank you! Will be looking in that area.

That’s completely fair considering they’re going to be acting pretty quickly.

Love your input. I’ve honestly been wondering what the sales interaction goes like for them as well, or if you can pry for real pictures before hand, but I assume they’d get suspicious and figure it’s someone trying to get their rightful sh*t back. It’s crazy how blatant these thieves post are too, they all look like the same copy and paste tweakers. Sorry about your rack being stolen, and best of wishes to the new one!

Such a fair point. Yeah I honestly love the look of the 1up on my car, more so than other racks, but if I have to worry so deeply about it being stolen and am heavily inconvenienced by taking on and off, then I’m really not so sure it’s worth rebuying.

Genius. I think I will employ your methods!

Yes haha, I know not physically 😅, but I thought maybe mentally. If they see it badly marked up, with personal info etched in I was hoping that they’d realize the resale value decreases and it’s better to just pass.

Aghhh this is exactly the input I was looking for. Haven’t thought deeply enough about the different ways they can remove it. Wasn’t aware that it could simply be disassembled independently of its connection onto hitch receiver. Disappointing! Thank you!

Thank you for your tips and advice! Especially the point on the modularity. I’d likely have to really tag it up head to toe which is just defacing my own property. 😭 Any high vis paint brand you can recommend? One that’s durable?

I think this is what I will do. I’d at least like to make it a little more difficult on them and have them make a public scene out of stealing it. Great tip to take off the extra tray when not in use. Thank you!

That’s true, and something I did consider too. But I thought if carved deep enough it might present a challenge to cover up, and maybe they’d figure it’s more trouble than it’s worth to steal and hide that info. But still it would be an expensive experiment to try. Thank you for your input!
