as a Canadian who does many adventure rides and follows you, i am so ashamed that that this happened in my country. i will send a donations to Franek as I am a bit late seeing this post. One thought, when I am travelling and park my bike I am very careful that I can see it from wherever I am inside. I have been robbed (mugged) and it is a soul-destroying moment. Much love from the rest of us in Canada.

I'm another Canadian who's dismayed you were robbed. If we all pitch in it will ease your distress. Ride on, and we wish you many happier experiences.

Bad luck Kinga it can happen anywhere it's just the hassle of replacing everything you lost enjoy your videos stay safe

With the security video this guy will very likely be known to local police. The down side is that gear is likely sold fast for very little, so the guy may be charged and convicted but getting anything back is, in my experience, unlikely. And getting reimbursement from the guy also very unlikely. Watch out in poorer neighborhoods especially but a loaded bike anywhere in our towns is a target, partly due to the massive drug induced thievery problem everywhere now. So happy to have you touring Canada's east. Such a downer for us that you have been disrespected here considering all dodgy places you have been. Your hair looks terrific.

Really tough for you to deal with this just by yourself. This is the hardship of travelling alone. Take care! We will support you.

Being robbed is one of the worst thing that can happen when you are on the road. As motorcyclist we are always afraid of theft in poor or third world countries, but they are more safe than developed ones. Hope everything goes well and you continue to inspire.

🇨🇦 I realize this event took place over 3 months ago but I am profoundly sorry this happened to you while in my country. After all the world traveling you have done on Chilli, through some pretty sketchy locations at times, to have this happen in "friendly" Canada is very disappointing and an embarrassment. I suspect the theft was motivated by addiction needs; such issues are prevalent in Canada. As I think about it I realize the impact is more than just the loss of equipment which can be replaced, but the loss of items that are attached to important memories which are triggered each time you use the item. That tent was the tent you slept in while wild African elephants wandered about right outside! Etc etc. I put myself in your shoes and I know that the term livid would not come close to describing how I would be feeling. Do you have an account we can donate too?

I don’t ever park my cycle where I can’t visually see it (around people) and I know it’s a pain in the ass when you’re by yourself. Glad you’re ok though and your bike didn’t go with the rest. Hope you can get setup and put this behind you. There are still good people in the world that would be happy to meet you.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Back in 1987 I bought a new BMW K75s and traveled up to Canada to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Once I got to the BMW dealer in Moncton they warned me about motorcycle thefts there so I guess they had issues even back then. (I was also warned about St. John, NB too) It was strange to have to put my "street wise" hat on after all the nice and welcoming Canadian people I had met throughout my trip.

Goes to show the quality of people in Canada and here in America too. No respect for others and their stuff. This is really sad but I am glad you are okay.

You've been all around the world, and of all places Canada is that last place I'd think to be extra careful. I love visiting Canada. I've only really been to Quebec and I love it. Sorry you had this experience.

Sorry about your lose. We had a truck, trailr, snowmobiles and personal effects stolen in Qebeec, CA. Canada has a big problem with auto theft. The police do nothing about it, but write a report. Afterwards, we spoke with many people with the same problems. Good luck.

The world has changed and like so many other Countries Canada has changed too. As a Canadian myself we are no longer safe or protected in our own environment, ask me how I know?! So sorry for your loss and the feeling of being targeted and vandalized is not nice one. Hope to see you bounce back and continue with your travels... take care and be safe.

What a terrible thing to have happen!😢 I had a similar experience while camping. I left my site for a bit of a walk and came back to find someone going through my belongings. I walked up and asked what they were doing and the guy tried to act as if it was his camp gear and I was the intruder. Needless to say I ran him off and alerted the park rangers. Never saw him again but didn’t feel comfortable there that night. I just can’t believe the nerve and carelessness of some people. They don’t care how their actions affect others as long as they get what they want. I’m very sorry you had to endure this situation. Much love and respect. Safe travels ❤
