California Leads The Nation For Motorcycle Theft

Motorcycle thefts are on the rise, and California, for the second year in a row, is the top state for stolen bikes. The annual theft report from the National Insurance Crime Bureau shows bike thefts rose 2% nationally in 2016. A total of 46,467 motorcycles were reported stolen, up from 45,555 in 2015. A shocking number of them disappeared in California, where 7,506 motorcycles were reported taken — compared with 4,482 stolen in Florida and 3,692 in Texas, the next most troublesome territories.
