Police have issued a warning to bikers as Manx Grand Prix is almost upon us.
On Facebook, officers say there are some simple things you can do to deter opportunistic bike thieves .
They say using disc, grip or chain locks will make it much more difficult to wheel away, as will using a chain through the back wheel - and keeping a bike under cover will also mean thieves will move elsewhere.
Police say they hope everyone has a safe and crime-free motorsport festival.
