More than 50 motorbikes and one car were found during raids across Bali. Owners can collect them from the main police headquarters in Denpasar.
You can check there whether your bike is among them. You'll need the originals of the owner's book (BPKB) and the registration certificate (STNK). Four owners already got their bikes back on Monday.
The raids ran from 27 October to 7 November. During that time, police solved 48 thefts and detained 62 people. One of them is a citizen of Congo. He is suspected of stealing a motorbike that a tourist from the US had rented in Ubud.
Thieves rolled away motorbikes whose handlebars weren't locked, and started the others with a master key. If an owner left the key in the ignition or in the storage compartment, they simply rode off on the bike. Police advise using a second lock. They ask people to report thefts immediately by calling 110.
Some of the vehicles were found after they had already left the island. Investigators are trying to establish where else the stolen bikes were being taken.
