The goulburn Yamaha Shop sound like it was dirt bike (dont need to be
registered) stuff stolen, which is common because the bikes can be
sold with little chance of seller or buyer being caught (or the buyer
even being aware that the bike is stolen).

Harley shops are commonly owned by gang members so this is likley to
be gang related or someone very very stupid!
