Editing Motorcycle Theft (section)

== What The Thief Must Have Done ==

Ducatis come from the factory with an engine immobilizer. They're awful bikes to steal if you want to get a motorcycle to ride because you can't start them without an original key or a red reprogram keycard, both of which only the owner has. This makes the stolen bike only useful for parts and the like.

But the thief didn't know that. He took the bike, then couldn't start it because he thought something was up with the ignition so he drilled through that key hole, then he thought it was because there was no gas so he drilled that key hole, and at some point he must have thought he was some hot shot who knew how to fix the starter button so he messed with that too.

And before he got going on all this, he decided to paint the entire bike in ugly grey-blue house wall paint. You could still see the bad paint strokes! It was an atrocious job.

Unable to get the bike started after all this, he must have given up and abandoned it. ''Nottata persa e figlia fìmmina''<ref name=montalbano/>.
