Okay, so let's say you like motorcycles. A lot. It could even be said that you love 'em with a passion. But imagine being so infatuated with bikes that you steal them, ride them, then sell their parts and live off the income, only to feed the circle of theft. Oh, and you happen to be a 24 year-old female.
As reported by The Times of India, Harsha Patel "always keeps her hair short and never rides pillion," indulging in said crime habits thanks in part to duplicate keys which help her make off with the motorcycles. The story indicates her "fascination" with bikes fueled her transgressions, and that she'd already been caught twice before.
Stranger than fiction, eh?

What a SCUMBAG. And what a pathetic excuse – the rest of us who love motorbikes go and get a JOB and BUY one. She’s just a filthy thief no better than any other, stealing people’s pride and joy or daily transport and livelihood; then living off the proceeds of tearing the bikes apart.
How completely bizarre!
There’s a guy here in Toronto, just going to trial now, who had, over a period of 2 or 3 years, stolen hundreds of bicycles from all over the city.
He had them amassed in basements and sheds. It took the police days to count them and they’ll never find all the owners.
It certainly takes all kinds.
