We recently received a message from John, a motorbike owner who had recently placed an order for a new lock. But his reason for doing so wasn't because his old one failed - far from it. He was reaching out to share how his LITELOK X1 had saved his bike from an attempted theft.
"They attempt to steal my motorbike was on the 10th of April this year. It was a 2-year-old bike worth about £3,500. It had a cover over it which was fastened through the front wheel by the LITELOK. It was also chained through the frame to the front wall of my house.”
John had taken sensible precautions: a sturdy cover, a frame-to-wall chain, and our high-security LITELOK securing the wheel. But as any rider knows, determined thieves often operate under the cover of night.
“They wouldn't have seen the chain until they got the cover off, and to have done that would have meant cutting through the LITELOK. This happened in the early hours between 3 & 5 am.”
Despite the timing, tools, and effort, the thieves never got beyond the cover. The LITELOK held firm, acting as the first—and clearly effective—line of defence. They gave up before even discovering the second lock.
John’s quick thinking and layered security paid off. His motorbike stayed exactly where it belonged: safe at home.
"Excellent lock really sturdy and well made. I've now bought another one for my other motorcycle. They're expensive but well worth the cost for the security they provide. My first purchase has already prevented my royal Enfield from being stolen, see photo, they only managed to damage the locks rubber cover."
We’re proud that LITELOK played a crucial role in this story—and grateful to John for sharing it.
