I've spoken to few people round my way who have had motorcycles stolen
For one they got into the garage buy removing the roof tiles!.
Another had his stolen after advertising it on
Ebay, they caught the lad who'd stolen that one, he had a "shopping list" with 10 bikes on it apparently.
A chap had his one off Lambretta stolen, they'd followed him back from a bike meet (this was especially sad as he'd spent years building it, custom hand built engine and exhaust, frame etc).
Unfortunately if you are riding around on £7ks worth of bike that can easily be sold on you have to spend a fortune securing it, shouldn't be that way but thats the way of the world.
