Motorbike and moped theft is on the rise. Follow our tips to make sure you are doing all you can to protect your vehicle.
With rising crime rates, motorbike security should be top of the list for any rider. Bikes are stolen by joyriders, stolen to order, or stolen to be broken down into parts, and can often be out of the country before you know they're gone. But despite this, less than half of all bikes are protected by bike locks or any other security devices.
The Metropolitan Police and the City of London Police, who face the highest incidents of motorbike-related crime, are appealing to all motorcycle users to take all reasonable measures to protect their property and help by spreading the word.
The Met has launched a campaign to raise awareness with scooter riders of what they can do to reduce the risk of their scooter being stolen.
It focuses primarily on scooter riders, who are less likely to use strong security products compared with motorcyclists who are biking enthusiasts.
Scooter theft has risen 50% over the last two years in London and is linked to an increase in criminals using them to commit other crimes such as phone snatches.
Over 14,000 motorcycle, moped and scooters were stolen in London alone in the last year.
It takes a matter of seconds for a thief to steal a moped, scooter or motorcycle, especially if they are left either unsecured or with inadequate security.
The 'Lock, Chain, Cover' campaign asks riders to layer up their security to reduce their vulnerability to thieves, using the strapline: 'Lock, chain and cover your scooter to make it less visible to thieves. Adding extra security makes it harder for them to steal'.
