A new website has been launched for owners of motorcycles and scooters who are unlucky enough to have found themselves victims of theft and/or fraud.

www.motorbikecrime.com was created by the insurance industry claims expert Phil Swift and Dr Ken German, the motor cycle industry bike theft specialist as a what can we do now? helpline for the motorcycle and scooter owner.

The new helpline is aimed at owners who have had their machines stolen or taken by means of fraud. It also gives help and advice to those who have purchased motorcycles and scooters that are already on finance, as well as those declared as a Total loss.

Owners who have found their wheels have been clocked or cant understand why their insurance company is not paying out for their theft claim will also find the site useful. Stolen registration documents (V5s) are also listed should any worried owner think they may have been given one with their recently acquired machine.
