Record Number of Motorcycles Stolen in May 2024
Nearly 200 motorcycles were stolen in the Netherlands in May. This is a record number of thefts per month and a significant increase compared to the same month in previous years.
If this trend continues, 2024 will be the first year where 1,000 motorcycles are stolen within a six-month period. Yamaha is the most desired brand among motorcycle thieves, followed by BMW, Suzuki, Honda, and Kawasaki. This is according to figures from Stichting VbV.
Over Three-Quarters Not Recovered
Of the nearly 200 motorcycles, 157 have not been recovered after being stolen. This means high costs for owners and insurers, and a beloved hobby that can be lost. By comparison, 39% of all stolen cars are not recovered.
Recover and Secure Your Motorcycle
With a recovery system from Moving Intelligence, we ensure that a motorcycle is recovered after theft. The Peilzender and Retreever are wireless and waterproof systems that are almost undetectable when hidden in the motorcycle. Once a day, the system sends a signal to the online platform. If a motorcycle is stolen, we increase this frequency and can track the motorcycle to within a meter.
