How is a motorcycle gonna stop people from stealing my ebike?

Grand Theft Auto (the legal construct, not the game) [1].

"In many states, grand theft auto laws apply not only to the theft of cars but also to the theft of boats, campers, motorcycles, and other vehicles."

IMHO, if this applied to bikes as well, it would add a LOT of deterrent for bike/e-bike theft.

Um, just buy the electric motorcycle for 8x the cost of your ebike?
