Brazen Edinburgh thieves steal motorbike outside B&B as tourist's trip 'ruined'

A tourist in Edinburgh had her motorbike stolen from outside a quiet B&B on Friday afternoon.

Stefanie Henschke, who is visiting from Berlin with her husband, had the vehicle stolen from outside Acer Lodge Guest House at around 4.50pm. She says they also damaged her husbands motorbike, which is now unusable.

Stefanie received the bike from her father, and said it was her 'last freedom' on her trip as a working mother.

Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Stefanie said: "It happened today, and I love the bike.

"It was the last present or gift from my dad. It was the last freedom and independent time on my bike as a working mum.

"The people here are so friendly, but these two men are a different story."

She's asked anyone who sees a blue BMW R1100S with licence plate LDS HA8 to get in touch with police.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "At around 5.45pm, police received a report of the theft of a motorbike from Queensferry Road and enquiries are ongoing."
