This is a huge problem in Edinburgh.
Large valuable bikes are the main targets, particularly BMW GS and GSA.
A small number are stolen for joyriding, but others are being shipped to Eastern Europe.
Thieves are using scooters to steal the bikes, one steals the bike, the other pushes him away using the rear footpeg and the scooter to drive the stolen bike off.
Unfortunately handguns are not freely available in Edinburgh or the epidemic would be short lived.
