Teen arrested for stealing motorbike in Denpasar says it was ‘too easy’

A teenager was reportedly arrested on Jl. Tuberose by Denpasar criminal police on Wednesday night for stealing a motorbike. 

The 17-year-old high school dropout took the motorbike belonging to a resident of Jl. Komodo, Denpasar, some time ago, reports Tribun Bali.

When met at the police station in East Denpasar, the teen, identified by initials Kw by Tribun, said that he eyed this motorbike when he was looking for something to steal, because the it was not locked.

Let this be a warning to folks out there, to always always (unless you’ve got a legit parkir man watching your bike), always lock your steering. 

“The motorbike is not locked, so it was easy to steal it,” he explained, as quoted by Tribun.
