Summary
- Motorbike stolen after owner involved in a crash.
- Theft occurred in Melbourne's northwest on November 18.
- Victim compares Melbourne to crime-ridden Argentina.
An Argentine national has voiced his dismay after his motorbike was stolen in Melbourne shortly after he was involved in a traffic collision. Juan Gonzalez Lobo reported that his 2010 600cc Yamaha JX6N was taken from the northwest of the city on November 18, around 1 PM. He described the incident, stating he was thrown from his bike during the crash and subsequently taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Upon recovery, Mr. Lobo entrusted a friend with collecting his motorbike. However, he was later informed that the vehicle had disappeared from where it was left. Mr. Lobo expressed frustration with the lack of progress from the police and the insurance company, which he claims is undervaluing his stolen bike. He lamented the situation, drawing parallels to his developing home country.
Mr. Lobo relies heavily on his motorbike for his work as a film technician. He has owned the bike for ten years and recently invested in its maintenance. He is currently in a dispute with his insurance provider over the payout, finding it insufficient given the bike's value. He hopes for the bike's return to resolve the insurance issue.
