I keep my bike in the shed at the bottom of my garden and there's a door which leads out on to an alleyway which is, admittedly, not too secure and the door from the garden doesn't lock anyway.
When I came to unlock my bike to get it out, I noticed that the bolts holding the front of the fuel tank down had been removed. After a good check around, I was certain that nothing else had been tampered with, so I think that someone had tried to lift the tank to drain the petrol.
Fortunately I always store it with the steering lock on which meant that they couldn't raies the tank as the handlebars got in the way of the metal tabs on the front of it, but it was none the less very annoying and concerning in case they'd tried to do something else too.
I've reported it via 101, but the Police basically said "Well we can take a statement, but that's it unless we catch them trying it somewhere else."
Anyone else ever had something like this happen?
