🚨 Theft of Motor Vehicles & Burglaries – A Reminder to Bike Owners 🚨
We’ve seen a recent increase in thefts of motor vehicles and shed/garage burglaries, particularly involving motorbikes.
A common theme we’re encountering is the belief that bikes are safe because “people don’t know it’s there” — unfortunately, that simply isn’t the case. Offenders do know, and they actively look for easy opportunities.
In most cases, bikes are being left with:
❌ No security at all, or
❌ Only a steering lock, which can be overcome in seconds
Please remember: 🔒 A steering lock is not a security device
🔒 Hidden does not mean secure
🔒 Thieves are quick, organised, and opportunistic
We strongly encourage bike owners to use multiple layers of security: ✔️ Ground anchors
✔️ Heavy-duty chains & padlocks
✔️ Alarmed disc locks
✔️ Secure sheds/garages
✔️ CCTV / lighting where possible
Taking a few extra minutes to properly secure your bike can be the difference between still owning it tomorrow — or seeing it on our page after recovery.
Stay alert, stay secure, and please continue to report anything suspicious. 👀🏍️ |
