Are college campuses hotspots for motorcycle theft?

They can be, yes. Campuses combine several things thieves love, and campus police blotters regularly reflect it:

• Predictability. Your bike sits in the same lot, in the same spot, during the same class blocks, week after week. A thief can plan around your schedule.
• Open access. Most campus lots are unfenced and open to the public, with steady foot traffic that makes loitering unremarkable.
• Light, easy targets. Students ride a lot of scooters and small-displacement bikes — machines two people can lift into a truck without breaking a sweat, often secured with nothing but a fork lock.
• Long unattended stretches. A bike parked at 9 a.m. and retrieved at 5 p.m. gives thieves a huge working window, and overnight dorm parking is even worse.

If you ride to campus: park in view of cameras or a security office if you can, use an alarmed disc lock at minimum, and chain to a rack or anchor when one exists. Vary your parking spot. And because a small bike disappearing into a pickup takes seconds, a hidden tracker is arguably more valuable on a student's scooter than on a Harley in a garage — it's the difference between a report and a recovery.
