My motorcycle was almost stolen — what should I do now?

Take the attempt seriously — a failed theft often means someone decided your bike was worth stealing, and they may come back better prepared. Here's what to do:

  • Report it to the police, even though nothing was taken. A report creates a record, and officers may know of similar attempts in your area.
  • Photograph any damage — pried locks, bent steering, scratched ignition — for insurance and evidence.
  • Check any camera footage you or your neighbors have, and hand it to police. Do not try to identify or confront anyone yourself.
  • Change where the bike sleeps if you can, even temporarily. Thieves return to targets they've already scouted.
  • Upgrade immediately: a hardened chain to an anchor or immovable object, a disc lock with an alarm, and a cover so the bike is no longer on display.
  • Add a hidden GPS tracker now, not after a second attempt succeeds. If they do come back and win, live location data is what turns a loss into a real shot at recovery.
