Motorcycles account for more than one in five stolen vehicles despite making up only about 1% of vehicles on the road, according to new figures. While the number of motorcycles stolen every year has fallen, the figure for cars has dropped much faster. The result is that bikes have gone from representing 16.8% of all vehicles stolen in 2006 to 21.69% last year. The figures, derived from the Police National Computer by Retainagroup Ltd, show the number of bikes stolen has dropped from 26,608 in 2006 to 21,928 last year. For more on this, including a new MCN campaign to fight bike theft, buy the paper,

It doesn't surprise me a friend of ours lives in a not to nice an area and is new to biking , got himself a CBR125, and when taking to us said he had attatched a bicycle lock to it, not attached it to anything "doh" saying well it won't be able to be wheeled away !

He came and borrowed our locks till he got himself a good one!
