Gone at 02:33. Recovered by 03:17. A £13,000 BMW R1250 GS Adventure TE — stolen in France, back in 44 minutes.
This rider was mid-tour when thieves took the bike from the Golden Tulip Hotel car park in Reims in the early hours. The moment the owner confirmed the theft to Datatool, our monitoring team got straight onto it — working with the French police until the bike was found at Rue Source De Muire, just streets away. 44 minutes. Not a bad end to what could have been a very long night.
Motorcycle theft doesn't take a day off when you cross the Channel. And neither do we.
Datatool trackers are Thatcham approved and recognised by the UK's leading motorcycle insurers — protection that can also help reduce your premium and keep your no-claims record intact.
