Rider Theftline
We regret to inform you that the 10k Anti-theft reward scheme offered by MAG is finished as of 23rd July. The MCIA have decided that they are no longer able to support it.
We are in the process of trying to get another partner to assist MAG in putting bike thieves behind bars and our MAG Member reward is still in place.
Can we ask that all reps make sure that all posters and items relating to Rider Theftline are removed from your regional web sites and shops, dealers etc.
If anyone has any queries please call Henry Marks on 0870 4448 448.
Top ten tips to protect your pride and joy
From the Home Office Vehicle Crime Reduction website - www.secureyourmotor.gov.uk
Alarms - Get a combined alarm and electronic immobiliser fitted professionally. Thatcham and Sold Secure recommend some of the best and your insurance
company may give you a discount on your premiums.
Locks - Get a good disc lock or better still, a U-lock - make sure it's long enough.
Secure - Secure your bike to something solid that can't be moved and keep the lock off the ground - this makes it harder to break.
Marks - Put obvious security markings on as many parts of your bike as possible, using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the registration number or
your postcode linked to a recognised database.
Garage - If you've got a garage use it and lock it. If not, ground anchors are a good bet and cover your bike if you can.
Keys - Keep your keys safe and out of sight at all times.
Steering - Always put the steering lock on.
Helmet - Don't leave your helmet or other possessions on the bike.
Off-road - If you ride an off-road bike, ask the DVLA to register its details (frame and engine numbers) on their own and police computers - it's free.
Second-hand - If you're buying a second hand bike or parts, be wary of 'bargains'. Have a good look at the registration documents and check the bike's
history with HPI Group Ltd, the AA or the RAC.
More help - You can get more information about alarms, immobilisers and other security devices by phoning the Vehicle Security National Helpline on 0870 5502006 or the
Sold Secure Helpline on 01327 264687
