From a 3-minute recovery to nearly £200k worth of stolen bikes recovered – here’s what Datatool got up to in February.

From Durham and Northumberland to Swansea and Milton Keynes, our Vehicle Recovery Specialists have covered the whole of the UK making sure stolen vehicles get back to their rightful owners.

Monitoring 24/7/365, our Vehicle Recovery Specialists work around the clock every single day – no matter the day or hour, our team is on hand to help recover stolen bikes. In February, we worked the most alongside the Metropolitan Police Borough and we’d like to thank them for their continued support and assistance in recovering stolen bikes though our advanced tracking technology.

Wondering how we work with Police Boroughs across the country? We require a CRN – you can get a Crime Reference Number by contacting the police and notifying them of your stolen bike, as soon as you provide our team with a CRN, we can work with the police to locate and recover your bike in as little as 3 minutes as we saw in February.

From the Yamaha N-Max125 and the Honda SH125A, to the BMW R1250 – we had a range of models from these brands that ultimately found them February’s top 3 stolen bikes of the month. For Yamaha, other stolen models consisted of the RAYZR, Tracer 700 and the X-Max 300. With Honda, the CB125F, Vision 110 and the NSS 125 were popular amongst thieves and for BMW, the S1000 and R1250 attracted thieves across the country.

57% of bikes were stolen during the nighttime vs the daytime, between the hours of 18:00PM – 05:59AM. With a range of advanced tracking solutions available for your bike, sleep with peace of mind when your bike is protected with Datatool.

Contact us today to find out more about how we can help keep your bike with you, where it belongs. We’re open Monday to Friday 8:30AM until 5:00PM – our team is ready and happy to help!
