Motorcycle Theft Prevention Advice

🏍️ Protect your motorcycle from theft

Motorcycles remain a target for thieves, but a few simple steps can make your bike far less attractive to criminals:

✅ Always lock your bike, even if leaving it for a short time. Use a quality disc lock, chain and padlock, or both.

✅ Secure it to an immovable object wherever possible. A locked motorcycle can still be lifted into a van if it isn't anchored.

✅ Park in a well-lit, busy location or a secure garage. Thieves prefer places where they are less likely to be seen.

✅ Consider additional security measures such as alarms, immobilisers, tracking devices and motorcycle covers.

✅ Remove keys and valuables every time you leave your bike unattended.

✅ Mark and register your motorcycle and its parts using a recognised property marking scheme.

✅ Stay alert and report any suspicious behaviour around motorcycles or parked vehicles.

If you see suspicious activity, report it to police. In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, call 999.
