Comments like this makes me really worried: 

“I didn’t think it was that bad until I saw 7 bikes coming up my one way road the wrong way last night! Then they stopped parked one bike up and he jumped on the back of one of the other stolen bikes and went off. 
2 mins later they came back down the road chasing a papa john driver and dragged him off and stole his bike. Then they came back for the other stolen bike. This seems to be the norm I saw another bike the day before being whizzed in and out of traffic that was clearly stolen and to little shits on another bike with no helmets it seems very common now didn’t know it had got like gta till last night though”

this would never happen in “sons of anarchy”?

i’ve seen scooters rolling around my road as well. Luckily unless you are on the lookout for my bike you would never see it.

and I make a point of riding around a couple of times if I see scooters around if I’m about to park up.

What a depressing trend of motorcycle theft. I really feel for those who’ve had their bike stolen, but having it stolen while driving it?

Makes my blood boil reading these reports! When will something be finally done, how many people have to suffer before police even considers battling this plague of promising footballers, ffs…

A strange one for bike theft - if they’d nicked the bike they would have had to leave one of their bikes there (and despite the video title, they’re not on mopeds but reasonably tidy looking bikes).

Didn’t look like they even made much attempt to take the bike or the keys, more likely there was some incident previous that the 3 guys were reacting to - not saying that is right either.

I doubt they owned there rides

they would just go and steal another scoot when they needed

They may not own the bikes but it seems strange that they would use a Street Triple to try and steal another bike - unless the one they targeted was something pretty special.

chain it, disk lock it, alarm it, cover it = hope it will be there next morning :slight_smile: only rule

Difficult when you’re riding it though…

Well, looks like they have the reg of at least one of the bikes, surely if they’re ‘legit’ it wont be difficult to trace one of them at least…
