1) Make sure that the bike is actually worth some money. i.e. not a 19 year old CBR 1000 and a 20 year old GSX 750. 2) Try and find a CBR which doesn't have a buggered battery. 3) Learn how to hotwire the bloody thing before you start hacking around with a hammer and chisel 4) Make sure the GSX actually has 2 wheels attatched to the bike before you try taking it off the centre stand. An axel stand holding the bike up and the wheel leaning against the wall is not good enough. 5 ) Leave the country, as hell hath no fury like a woman who's motorcycle has just been smashed over the garage floor by some fucking idiot who cannot count to 2. 6) and finally it would be common courtesy to drop a letter through the door at least 1 week in advance to remind the owner that her insurance may well have lapsed.
