Over the years I've noticed, come Spring and Summer, it appears to be a "thing" for groups of late teens-early 20 males to steal a moped each and drive around the city for the day/night. From the way they ride them, it's pretty obvious they don't own them. I know a few people who have also just given up travelling by moped due to the repeated number of times they are stolen, rode the hell out of then abandoned, or never turn up, not to mention having petrol stolen all the time. With almost zero visible Police on the streets and no CCTV in the area, it's sadly a paradise for thieves and burglars around here.
