The headache, it turned out, wasn’t even the worst part of the hangover for a capital construction worker who had his motorbike stolen while he was slumbering next to it.

After drinking a litre of wine alone on Diamond Island on Wednesday, the 22-year-old construction worker set off back to his bed, but gave up along the way, pulling over to get some shut-eye.

He was briefly woken up by three passersby warning of possible theft, to which he shrugged and fell back asleep. Their cautionary tale proved true, however, as his scooter had vanished by morning.
