The only mistake the delivery boy did was that he left the keys to his scooter in the lock itself. Seeing this, the two bike thieves tried to start the scooter and flee from the spot. However, the security guard of the society was quick enough to come into action, and he closed the gates of the society, prohibiting the thieves to run away from the spot with the stolen scooter.

We urge all our readers and citizens of the country to be careful while parking their two-wheeler or cars. Please do not leave your vehicle’s key in or on the vehicle, which can give the thieves a free hand to steal your vehicle.

Bikes are easy targets

Most motorcycles are equipped with a single-sided handlebar lock, with no other modern security features like a lockable ignition keyhole, Bluetooth-operated tracking system or burglar alarm. To prevent your motorcycle from getting stolen, you can use additional after-market security bits such as brake disc lock and front fork lock, with which you can lock other mechanical components of the motorcycle, apart from the handlebar.

In addition to these basic security kits, you can also install an after-market engine immobilizer or a tracker which will let you know the exact location of your motorcycle. However, such electrical systems are usually installed with alterations to the original electrical structure used in a motorcycle. It can void the standard warranty offered on the motorcycle by its manufacturer.
