Another theft:
Bike stolen while injured rider airlifted

A TRAILBIKE rider is fuming after his motorcycle was stolen while he was being airlifted to hospital. Trevor Fuller punctured his lung and broke his collarbone, a rib and a ligament in his finger when he fell off his modified 2002 Yamaha 426 in forest near Woodford, north of Brisbane, on Good Friday.
It took a thief less than 10 minutes to make off with the bike as Mr Fuller’s two riding mates and ambulance officers moved him 500m away from the crash site to a clearing for the helicopter rescue, the Caboolture Shire Herald reports.
“I was certainly in no condition to make sure someone stayed with the bike,” Mr Fuller said.
“I can’t believe it.” Mr Fuller said
his bike had been parked on the side of a trail. To make matters worse, one of Mr Fuller’s friends – Steve Lintott – rode off to look for the bike but also fell and broke his collarbone. Mr Fuller is now recovering at home.
