What do motorcycle thieves look for in a target?

Thieves are doing a quick risk-versus-reward calculation, and the bikes that get taken are the ones that make that math easy. The main factors:

• No visible security. A bike with nothing but a steering lock is seconds away from being rolled or lifted. A chain, disc lock, or cover signals time, noise, and effort.
• Predictability. The same bike, parked in the same spot, at the same hours, every day. Routine lets a thief plan the theft instead of improvising it.
• Low-visibility parking. Dark streets, alley corners, the far end of a lot, spots hidden from windows and foot traffic.
• Easy loading. Two people can lift most motorcycles into a van. Bikes parked where a van can pull up alongside are prime targets.
• Desirable models. Popular sport bikes and common models with strong parts demand are attractive because they're easy to sell whole or in pieces.
• Signs of neglect. A bike that clearly sits unridden for weeks suggests the theft won't be noticed quickly.

Flip each factor and you've built your defense: visible layered locks, varied parking, well-lit spots, an anchor where possible — plus a hidden tracker, so that if a determined crew takes it anyway, the bike tells you exactly where it went.
