Officers have issued a warning to bikers to be vigilant and make sure their motorbikes are properly locked up, with steering locks on. Owners should record frame and engine numbers, and take photos of any modifications on their bike.
Nothing about how officers are going to target what is obviously an organised team of bike thieves! Bikers just get told to take more care not to get their bikes stolen - if it was cars they'd mount a major operation to catch them!
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
