Footballer’s Bike Stolen on Camera as Teammates Film Training

A footballer in Argentina suffered an unfortunate incident when his motorcycle was stolen in broad daylight, with the entire theft inadvertently caught on camera while he and his teammates were filming their training session.

The mobile phone, propped up on the artificial pitch to capture footage of the players practicing, was positioned towards one of the goals.

As the group focused on their drills, an opportunistic thief approached a Honda motorcycle parked just behind the field.

Without hesitation, the man began tampering with the bike, and almost instantly, its lights flickered on.

Just then, a panicked voice rang out, yelling, “The bike! The bike!” The thief wasted no time, quickly wheeling the motorcycle away before hopping on.

Several players rushed toward the exit in pursuit, but most stopped in frustration as the crook managed to gain speed and escape.

Only one player continued sprinting after him, but the chase was futile.

The devastated owner of the bike, identified as Martín, recounted the moment to local media, explaining, “When I saw the guy going for the bike, I was the one who shouted, ‘The bike!’ Because I saw him get on it, and within two seconds, he had it started.

I still don’t know how he did it—I can’t figure out how he got it going.”

Adding to the mystery, Martín later discovered that the key was still inside his bag, meaning the thief hadn’t used it to start the motorcycle.

Authorities in Córdoba were alerted and immediately began analyzing security footage from nearby CCTV cameras.

The recordings revealed that the suspect initially struggled with the bike, stalling it momentarily.

However, an accomplice arrived on a second motorcycle and assisted him, enabling the duo to flee the scene successfully.

According to reports from vknews24, investigators suspect the thief used a specially crafted key resembling an arrow to start the Honda.

Frustrated by the ordeal, Martín expressed his anger, stating, “They’re professionals—he knew the bike would start, and he was gone in seconds.”

He also voiced his disappointment over security measures in place, adding, “It’s infuriating.

I feel angry and helpless because I work hard every day, only for someone to steal my bike in a matter of seconds.

They’ve installed cameras, but if no one’s monitoring them or responding, what’s the point?”
