• Methods are changing, have know of people being followed home and then the bike is jacked (like car jacking, they try to steal the keys to get round the immobilisers) I believe most motorbikes are stolen to be stripped for parts, some end up as race bikes.

    Bikes are easier to shift, many people don't even keep a note of their frame numbers t report to the police.

    I was just thinking that as there has been such a surge in theft of pedal cycles, perhaps there is a correlation.
