Yesterday, night my scooter was parked in dark. There was another activa parked adjacent to it. And I by mistakenly sat on that other bike inserted the key and engine started whomm!! Later on I felt something was wrong as the engine noise felt more refine than before and when I checked the color I was shocked that it wasn’t my bike. Thankfully nobody was there!! Don’t you that its a very big security concern? Is it a common thing? Does it happens with other manufactures as well?
I have seen the same thing happening with CD 100, Splendor & Passion bikes also, may be all hero 100cc bikes have this. But never with my Yamaha. Dont know abt other manufacturers.
I think this is happening becos I have noticed that the key hole & key of Honda bikes gets worn out quickly. This makes it to fit into any key hole easily.
But keys and key hole of Yamaha bikes lasts longer, so never had such an issue with my bike.

Take this up with trading standards and honda themselves, and your dealer. It might also be worth informing your insurance company who will undoubtedly be unaware of this.
So buy a chain or disc lock.
