However since the bike was locked (steering lock and disc lock) when you put the wheel into the straight position , my handlebar seems to be bended , or even worse the bracket holding the handlebar seems bended as well ...

anybody had something like this ever ?

it's national holiday here in belgium so I can't take the bike to the shop to check it , but I'm little bit worried of the cost , and if they would be able to rebend it , and at worst level , that my steering would be damaged ...

or am I freaking out to much as is it probably just the handlebar that has bended a little bit ,

anyhow , still don't get it why people doing this, it was clearly no theft attempt , as this f*cker also kicked my brake pedal completely against the engine, luckily I could rebend this and drive home
I would bet that your bike was knocked over probably accidentally then picked up back onto the stand. The bent brake pedal is the giveaway bent under the clutch cover.
