Thieves in Lincolnshire targeting motorbikes

People in Lincolnshire may want to make sure their motorcycle insurance policies are up to date, as there have been a number of thefts of bikes in the county recently.

Simon Croft, secretary of the Lincoln Motocross Club, told the Lincolnshire Echo that he has had three bikes taken from him and another member lost two a month ago.

"Thefts of motorcross bikes are definitely on the increase. The problem owners have is that traceability is very difficult," he stated.

The newspaper stated that modified, top-spec racers can set people back as much as £10,000, meaning owners stand to lose a substantial amount unless they have a policy in place to protect their asset.

Lincolnshire Police are aware of the growing trend of motorbike thefts, revealing that three machines were taken last week between Monday (May 9th) and Wednesday.

A survey carried out by the National Crime Intelligence Service in 2009 found that £3 million worth of motorcycles are stolen on the UK's streets every month.
