A famous travel vlogger who has toured the world on her motorbike didn’t get the best Welsh reception when she found out her motorbike had been stolen from a Swansea hotel car park. Dutch YouTuber and author Noraly Schoenmaker has travelled the world on different motorcycles, chronicling her journeys on her YouTube channel, Itchy Boots,. which has 2.8 million subscribes. She was in Swansea for a book signing event last week but when she woke up next day, she could not find her bike. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e not going to believe this, my bike is stolen, again! The bike is gone,鈥 she said in her latest video documenting the ordeal. Noraly had parked her bike at the hotel car park. Fortunately, she had a tracker on the bike that led her to a blue van also parked nearby.

I had the lock around it, cover over it. It wasn鈥檛 even 鈥 you know the bike鈥檚 not visible but they must have just ridden the van next to it, and just immediately loaded it in,” she claimed. 鈥淚鈥檓 100% sure that the chain lock is still there, for sure. It was right in front of the reception. I鈥檇 parked it as close as possible to reception.鈥 But then 鈥 in a stroke of luck, workers from the hotel found her bike hidden in the bushes. Noraly was quick to apologise to the blue van owners. She said: 鈥淚 was convinced it was in the blue van. I鈥檓 so sorry people from the blue van to accuse you. 鈥機ause I already looked in the bushes behind but I didn鈥檛 see it because they hid it. I鈥檓 really curious if we鈥檙e going to see something on the footage of the hotel.鈥 With the help of the hotel staff, Noraly was able to get the bike back down from the bushes, however, it had been damaged. It鈥檚 numberplate was broken, seat ripped out, damage to the rear view mirrors, and some scratches along with the bike being covered with bushes. Noraly was able to get a clearer view of what happened when the hotel checked their security footage. She explained: 鈥淚t turns out, 10 minutes after I parked here yesterday, a guy came on a motorbike, like a little moped鈥couting. He rode a few very strange circles, missing all the cameras, so we can鈥檛 see the plate of that moped nor his face. 鈥淎nd the at 3.30am in the morning, two guys came and they pushed the bike but because the lock was on the rear wheel they dragged [it] across the pavement, so they left a whole trail of rubber there and then they pushed it around because on the back of those bushes is another parking lot and half an hour later later a van came there.鈥 Noraly added: 鈥淪o, 4.00am in the morning, they came there with a van and then changes their mind for whatever reason, maybe they got spooked or something, and then kind of circled back and hid the bike in the bushes but because of the scaffolding that鈥檚 in front of the hotel, you cant see the faces of the two guys that pushed the bike.鈥 The thieves did manage to get away with the bike鈥檚 cover, Noraly still had praise for the people of Wales who helped her. 鈥淪ee, that鈥檚 the thing right, one bad thing happens, and then you just meet the loveliest people helping you get back on track,鈥 she said 鈥淟ike first in the hotel, they were so nice to me, and giving me water and everything, and then now, I got the new license plate for free. 鈥淭hey were like 鈥楴o, you don鈥檛 have to pay we want you to have a good experience in wales鈥, and the next shop where they drilled the holes in the plate and fitted it, they also didn鈥檛 want to take any payment. So there you go.鈥
