I think we will all agree with the sentiments being shared here; sympathy for the owner, contempt for the sod who nicked it.
Whilst we will all keep our eyes and ears open, we need to learn from these incidents so that we can outwit the buggers and not become victims ourselves. Even if it isn't our bus this time, we pay through increases in insurance costs.
What might be good to know is how this bus was secured, and how the thief managed to take it without being disturbed. Did it, for example, has an Ubersecure lock, a tracker, a battery cut-off key, a wheel lock, etc? Where was it kept, for example?
