Fayetteville Crime Prevention Specialists are warning citizens that motorcycle theft is on the rise in Fayetteville and offer the following safety tips to avoid becoming a victim of motorcycle theft: · Prevent temptation by keeping your bike covered when not in use, preferably in a garage if possible.· Use a steering lock, even though these can be easily defeated, they act as your first line of defense. · Do not keep your lock rested on the ground to allow leverage to destroy the lock and always make sure it is attached through the frame. · Disc locks will prevent lifting into waiting truck or van. Consider adding a cable and anchor the bike to something strong and solid. · In addition to the lock that your bike comes with, consider using two additional, different locks. A thief will likely nor be prepared for breaking three total locks...all of which are different. · Install a kill-switch that must be pressed whenever the start button is depressed. You can even remove your main fuse when your bike is parked. · Write the numbers of your lock down and store it somewhere safe. Then file the numbers off your lock. Anyone can get a key cut to fit with a number. · Park in a well-lit area and consider putting an alarm sticker on your bike. |
