Merseyside police say they managed to deter motorbike thieves who were targeting riders heading to TT - and reunite the bikes with their rightful owners.
In a YouTube video, officers from the Merseyside force say they were called to two attempted thefts at the weekend and chased those trying to make off with the machines.
Although they didn't catch those responsible, they did manage to recover the bikes.
Sergeant Garreth Berry says they were put on the ferry in Liverpool to catch up with their owners who are visiting for TT.
