Vic: Rare Harley Davidson motorcycle stolen
MELBOURNE, Dec 3 AAP - A rare Harley Davidson motorcycle - one of only two of its kind
in Australia - has been stolen from a bayside Melbourne home.
The $38,000 pearl white 2001 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft-Tail motorcycle was among
items stolen from three chain-link fenced storage areas below an apartment block on Beach
Road, Black Rock, sometime between 10pm (AEDT) on Monday and 7.30am on Tuesday, police
said.
It was stolen along with other items including motorbike and mountain bike paraphernalia.
"It appears the thieves knew what they were looking for when they forced entry through
the front security gate," police said.
"Police are confident that neighbours would have heard the Harley had it been started
and have been told the vehicles are very key-specific and difficult to hot-wire.
"They are investigating the possibility that the thieves may have had a tray truck
with a lift-platform to steal the 400kg Harley or that there was a large group to pick
up the motorbike."
The motorcycle's registration is AB-888.
