One motorcycle owner was left shocked on Monday morning upon realizing the bike that he thought he had securely chained up was stolen by someone who, instead of attempting to cut the chain, just dumped one tire behind.

The victim was a resident of Hnit Tant Kuu village, located in Htantabin Township. On Sunday night, he chained one of his bike’s tires to a pole in his front yard. When he came out into the yard the next morning however, all that was left was the front tire with the chain still attached.

Local police told The Voice that they were informed of the theft, but that the victim has yet to officially open a case.

Now the real question is — were no passersby suspicious of a person casually walking away with a one-wheeled motorcycle?
