Bike Theft Prevention
馃毑 With Spring here and many students choosing to ride their bikes to school, I wanted to share some tips to protect your bicycles from theft. Theft of a bike can take just minutes, but the inconvenience and financial loss will last much longer.
Please consider the following tips:
路 Never leave your bike unlocked in public.
路 Never lock your bike by the front wheel only.
路 Consider the use of two quality locks: use a U-lock and a cable lock. By using more than one style of lock it will take thieves two types of tools and twice as much time to steal your bike.
路 Take the extra step and remove the seat or a wheel as an extra deterrent.
路 Avoid leaving your bike on or in your vehicle.
路 If storing your bike at your residence, store it in a safe location using a lock or on your property inside a locked area.
路 If you are leaving your bikes in the back of a vehicle, lock them to your vehicle. Choose appropriate places to park.
In the event your bike is stolen, there are a few things you can do to police identify your bike:
路 Record serial numbers (regardless of the value of the bike) so that they can be added to police computer records, helping bikes be identified if located.
路 Photograph your bike, as a reference, to assist police in identification.
路 Most bike stores keep serial numbers and information of your purchased bike. Check with your local bike shop to obtain that information if your bike does get stolen.
