A motorcycle, scooter or moped can be stolen very quickly if it is poorly secured. Police.uk recommends using several layers of security. π LOCK β use the steering lock, but donβt rely on this alone. Consider a disc lock, grip lock or D-lock as an additional security measure. βοΈ CHAIN β use a strong chain through the back wheel and secure it tightly to an immovable object or ground anchor whenever possible. ποΈ COVER β a motorcycle cover hides the make and model and adds another obstacle for a potential thief. And donβt forget: π Remove the ignition key, even if youβre only leaving the bike for a few moments. π¨ Consider a quality alarm, immobiliser and tracking system. π Property-mark components to make stolen parts harder to sell and easier to identify if recovered. π At home, keep the bike in a locked garage or secure shed where possible and consider fitting a ground anchor. π‘ If you donβt have secure storage, park somewhere well overlooked and well lit. There is no single security device that guarantees a motorcycle wonβt be stolen. Layering several security measures makes the bike harder and less attractive to steal. If you witness a motorcycle or moped being stolen, do not put yourself at risk β call 999. #LockChainCover #MotorcycleSecurity #MopedSecurity #VehicleCrime #MakingCommunitiesSafer |
