Local officers have been handed CCTV showing thieves are using ankle grinders to break the locks off of motorbikes and steal them.
It comes after the force has seen an increase in reports in the north west of the city where parked motorcycles have been nicked.
This has been reported on five occasions between July 15 and 22, this year.
On three of these instances, the motorbike was found only a short distance away.
However, on two occasion police say the thieves wielded ankle grinders in order to escape with the vehicles.
Video footage of some of these incidents have been captured and shared by witnesses at the scene.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "The public are reminded to park their vehicles as safely and securely as possible and report any suspicious behaviour to police.
"Anyone with information on these thefts, or has additional video footage, should contact Police Scotland via 101.
"An anonymous report can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
