Ducati Desmosedici RR recovered
28 July 10
It appears there are numerous benefits to fitting the latest security devices to your motorbike, as one lucky owner of a Ducati Desmosedic RR recently found out.
The £45,000 motorbike was stolen off the driveway of a house in Alderley Edge Cheshire. Within hours of the bike being reported stolen, it was recovered on Middlesex Road in Greater Manchester as it was fitted with a TRACKER stolen vehicle recovery system.
Adrian Davenport, TRACKER's Police Relationships Manager, says:
“We suspect that the motorbike was loaded into a waiting van to ensure a quick getaway. Many stolen motorbikes will be broken down into parts within hours and sold on for a quick profit.”
TRACKER stolen motorcycle recovery systems work like an electronic homing device. A covert transmitter is hidden in one of several places around the motorcycle which can detect when the bike is being moved even without the ignition being on.
As a leading motorbike insurance broker Staveley Head would suggest all motorists consider fitting the latest security devices to their vehicles.
Chairman of the Motorcycle Crime Reduction Group, Kevin Howells said:
“Motorcycle theft is a low profile problem across the UK but, unfortunately, it's a problem that is steadily rising with almost 26,000 machines stolen in 2009 alone.”
