I got careless. I always lock it up with a heavy chain in my driveway, and this time was no exception, BUT I left it uncovered for a couple weeks. When I got back to it tonight, the ignition switch was dangling by wires like it had been pulled out. It snapped back on and it worked just fine. <br>

It's a 2007 GTS 250. How worried should I be? There are lots of thieves where I live but I wouldn't think we have any sophisticated scooter thieves like large cities with many Vespas on the road. Does this seem like the work of someone that could steal my scoot? Have you had similar experience? Mad at the violation and mad at myself for slipping when I am usually very careful not to draw attention.

Disc lock with integrated sound alarm ..?
Easy to put in but be careful to remember to take it off when you leave, some have fallen for this distraction.

I'm trying to figure out how this is possible. Do you mean the part you put the key into? Were any of the plastics ripped off or removed?
