BUNGLING thieves set off a car alarm and knocked over the motorcycle they were trying to steal in an alleyway in Eastleigh.
The thieves had wheeled the red Honda motorbike into the alleyway near Dutton Lane to use a screwdriver in the lock to try to start it.
While they were wheeling the bike away they managed to damage it by dropping it on the ground. The bike was later discovered by a householder who was alerted when the thieves accidentally knocked his car and set its alarm off.
