I have had an attempted theft of my scooter just last year. It was raining and I ended up taking my car and had my scooter chained up inside my carport, when I got home I found my bike laying down on my neighbors car. Her car wasnt damaged but the thief ended up taking my gas leaf blower that was sitting on top of my storage shelf. My guess is that he was going for my bike but didnt realize that it was locked up and got fustrated and layed it down and then spotted my unsecured leaf blower and decided to take that.
A year later I have learned a valuable lesson and Installed a security system that covers every angle of my complex as well as locking and chaining up my scooter and leaf blower after each use. However, if a thief is really determined he will do anything to steal from you.
