That's a peculiar link. You seem to have found the first YouTube video, in my experience, to contain potential malware. On Internet Explorer it continually crashes the page. Other videos are working fine for me. I just tried it in Google Chrome and received a large, legitimate looking pop-up:

Suffice to say I didn't click 'next' and I'm still happily using various Google services.

Plays fine for me. Could your browser already be infected? What I don't understand is what they were sawing and how you actually steal a motorbike - don't they need ignition keys?

Cheers. I'll run a scan. Odd that both browsers reach an impasse on that page, but other videos play fine.

Probably that they looked the look of that 1199 Panigale S and that they'll try to nick it.

Shame they weren't caught, or maybe they were later?

Also Google does come up with that message every time they update their privacy policy. I'm not saying people don't imitate it but it can be a genuine message.

But the message read, "This isn’t about a change we’ve made — it’s just a chance to review some key points." AVG found nothing, and the link still doesn't work for me. Never mind.

The ultimate outcome here would be for the thieves to collide head on at 100 mph into a tree or a concrete bridge parapet wiping themselves out. Thieves like that are no further use to anyone.

I can confirm that that is one of Google's standard messages and I've accepted it in the past with no ill effects.

Basically the thieves are sawing at some part of the bike, then people see what they're up to and challenge them, and one of them who is really hench and scary-looking in a helmet comes towards the protesters threateningly. So they let them drive off but some brave soul pushes the thief on the bike into the back of a van (still moving slow) so they abandon the bike and make their exit together on the bike they arrived on.
