Motorbikes and home addresses

A question about : Motorbikes and home addresses

For any other bikers out there just a warning about giving out your home address.

There seems to have been a rise in the number of bikes going missing soon after being serviced / repaired. So you take your bike into a garage, give them your details, pick the bike up when the work has been completed, a few days later your bike goes walkies never to be seen again.

So if you take your bike in it is better just to leave a mobile phone number and nothing else to indicate where the bike is stored.

• There's also absolutely no reason for them to know your address as well!
  I always pay cash so they have no reference such as a credit card to look up. Only give your first name and mobile number if your home number is listed.
  Also always try and transport it to the garage if you can - or from a different location if it's a non-runner, and pick it up when it is finished.
