Burundi, the current title-holder for Worst Place on Earth to Steal a Motorcycle, has some competition. The Jakarta Post reports:
A man was beaten to death by a mob after being caught attempting to steal a motorcycle at Tebet market in South Jakarta.

The man, identified as Herman, and his accomplice, Cikula, were trying to take a parked motorcycle when they were spotted by a parking attendant.

Herman attempted to escape the crowd that attacked him, stabbing one man with a knife, but was killed by the mob.
Maybe the motorcycle belonged to one of these guys.
