Mate i reckon only a small number are stolen for joy riders. The majority, IMHO are done for wreckers, parts, it’s just to easy to pass them off that way..Like a HQ holden, take it strip, sell it in a day! If its wanted enough( particular mod’s) the $’s are good to inspire some fk nut to case for one and take it. Much as it sucks, i think it’s a demand thing.The more the public are looking for a certain mod. bike, the better the prices go and then, Unfortunately, some pricks running a bussines offer good $’s to have one ” acquired” no questions asked.
Must be a night for the Rums.
