Everything Geraldton has been receiving a massive amount of reports of stolen motor bikes, dirt bikes, quads and mopeds over the last few months.

We reached out to Police on the matter who say they have been pleading with the public for some time to secure their bikes securely.

They are soft targets, and theft of them seems to be an "opportunity" crime.

Geraldton Police: "Typically we find a lot of theft reports come as a result of cars/homes not being locked and vehicles such as off-road motorbikes/mopeds not being secured."

While it may be a shame we live in a world where we have to secure our valuables, the reality is bikes are an easy target by criminals and need to be well secured.
