    Two more motorcycles were stolen from their parking spots on the Upper East Side recently. The first incident occurred April 9, when a man reported to the police that he saw men lifting his motorcycle's parked on East 65th Street, between First and Second avenues's into the back of a white van at 2:30 a.m. Though unclear if the crimes are related, the two recent thefts are similar. A man told police that he videotaped two men placing his black 2006 Ducati motorcycle, parked in front of 1040 Park Ave. between East 86th and 87th streets, in a minivan. The van drove south on Park Avenue around 5 p.m., April 17. The second incident occurred April 19. A man drove his 2008 red Honda motorcycle to work at 7:40 a.m. and parked it at 601 Park Ave. and East 64th Street. When the 35-year-old Woodside, Queens, man left work at 4 p.m., the motorcycle was missing. Police are looking into video surveillance footage from the corner of Park and 64th.
