Preliminary investigations revealed that the 18-year-old teenager was able to start the parked motorcycle as the transponder had been left inside a storage compartment of the motorcycle.  The stolen motorcycle has been recovered.

4. Use additional locking devices such as disc brake locks or install a suspension guard; 
5. Remove the ignition key and lock the motorcycle, whenever it is left unattended; and 
6. Do not leave spare keys or transponders inside any storage compartments of the motorcycle.
