On a recent episode of Fantástico, a highlight was brought to the alarming rise in thefts of motorcycle modules in São Paulo. The segment featured a security camera video capturing a bold thief stealing electronic modules from four parked motorcycles in just over a minute, all in broad daylight. This brazen theft took place around 9:30 AM on a Tuesday, depicting the audacity of such crimes in urban areas.

The video shows the thief casually roaming the streets, strategically choosing motorcycles parked in view. Within moments, he approaches the first motorcycle, swiftly detaches the electronic module, and moves on to the next victim with impressive speed. This equipment, crucially referred to as the "brain" of the motorcycle, is essential for its operation; without it, the motorcycle is rendered useless, akin to trying to start a vehicle without a key.

As explained by mechanic Alexandre Sauro, the motorcycle module manages all the critical functions of the bike, making such thefts particularly disruptive for motorcycle owners. The exposure of this incident not only raises awareness about the rising trend of motorcycle thefts in São Paulo but also calls for increased vigilance among residents and potential measures to enhance security for parked motorcycles.
