Cal poly seems to have a high theft rate for motorcycles, my first quarter here last year somewhere around 8 bikes were stolen in 2 weeks. There are rumors about a theft ring that operates in the area of covina/pomona.

If you see ANYTHING suspicious please take note of the people around the motorcycle and any vehicles that they seem to be using.

Some things that are suspicious, a guy messing with the front of the bike where the ignition is.

Grabbing the handle bars and moving them violently or using some type of pry bar on the front.

Loading a bike into a van or truck in a quick manner. If the person owned the bike they would take the time to use a ramp and tie downs to secure the bike. They would NOT just pick up the bike and throw it in. Or push it in and not secure it.

And i have heard that a thief is actually on campus.

If i see anyone stealing a motorcycle I WILL stop them, by any means at my disposal. This is a very personal matter to me even though my bike has not been stolen (yet).
