Bike theft is an all-too-common issue, especially in areas like Bristol, where determined thieves often resort to heavy-duty tools like angle grinders to target motorcycles.
On the 25th of November, Steve shared his personal experience with us—a testament to how proper security can make a crucial difference.
"Hey folks. Saved my BMW GS in Bristol UK today. Thanks so much for making these"
"My BMW GS was targeted in a car park in Bristol UK today by 4 wannabe thieves. I had an unprotected bike stolen around six months ago, and so when I replaced the bike, I bought myself a Litelok X1. Bristol has a real bike theft problem, with the usual approach being groups with angle grinders. And that’s what happened here."
Steve’s experience highlights the importance of investing in robust bike security. After losing his previous bike, he took no chances with his new BMW GS and opted for the Litelok X1—a lock designed to resist even the most aggressive theft attempts.
During the attempted theft, the sound of the angle grinder alerted nearby passers-by, forcing the would-be thieves to flee. The damage to the lock? Minimal. "It looks as if they made it through the rubber coating, but that’s about it," Steve shared.
The would-be thieves would have faced an even greater challenge, as they would have needed to make two separate cuts—a task that would have significantly extended their efforts and time.
This story underscores the significance of choosing high-quality security for your motorcycle. For Steve, the Litelok X1 Moto made all the difference in preventing another heart-breaking loss.
