The robbery has rocked an otherwise quiet precinct, and local businesses have expressed sorrow that Mr Bert was targeted, claiming he is a hard-working and friendly businessman.
Police have launched an investigation and are asking for public help to catch the culprit and return the bike.
“I got a call at 4.30am from my security company saying the alarm had gone off, and I went down to the shed to find my front door had been pulled open and I was missing my dirt bike,” a disappointed Terace Bert said.
Peter Wolf from 12 Volt Solutions said the thieves also tried to break into his business next door.
‘They put a bar in my door. They put a bar in my gate last night, but we were lucky,” Mr Wolf said.
Neighbouring businesses have denounced the robbery, claiming Mr Bert is a hard-working and friendly businessman who didn’t deserve to have his workshop targeted by thieves.
