Motorcycle theft has reportedly been on the rise in Italy, with over 31,000 bikes stolen in 2022 alone. Still, even if you know that, you probably don't expect thieves to try to make off with one of the bikes on the show floor at the world's biggest major motorcycle show of the year.
That's what happened at EICMA 2023, though. A team of two would-be thieves (at least, two that we know of) decided that what they needed was a shiny new Kawasaki KX250X. So, they came up with a plan that they hoped would net them a brand new bike, with no one the wiser.
