Thus, ways should be done to prevent this from happening to every bike owner.

Aside from the usual measure like parking your two-wheelers on special cycle park racks or in well-lit areas, locking it inside the garage when not in use, and using hardened steel U-type lock to secure your cycle - you should consider availing coverage for it as well.
