Theft Of Motorcycles in Heanor and Langley Mill
There has been a recent increase in theft of motorcycles in the Heanor and Langley Mill area. Below are a few crime prevention security tips.
- Always lock the ignition and take the key with you when you leave your bike.
- Lock the steering - motorcycles come with a fork lock, which is the equivalent of a car’s steering lock.
- Remove the main fuse of your motorcycle when you park.
- Lock your disks. Motorcycle disk locks attach to the disk brake rotor to prevent the wheel from rolling. Disk locks which incorporate an alarm offer additional protection.
- Lock your wheels. Motorcycle wheel locks work the same way as disk locks - they are just larger.
- Use two or more different locks, for example a chain lock and a U-wheel lock.
- Chain your motorcycle to a secure object that is difficult to destroy, or to other motorcycles when you park together
- Use high quality locks that are difficult to break, force, or pick.
- Take pictures of your motorcycle and any unique parts and marks. This could help the police to identify it should it be stolen
