The cycling season is underway, so the Bolesławiec police remind everyone of some important information concerning bicycles.
Bicycles disappear from outside shops and from basements because the locks were an easy obstacle for thieves to overcome. Criminals steal bicycles from balconies and stairwells because owners think that the intercom at the main entrance to the building provides sufficient protection.
Police:
When purchasing a bicycle, we should remember to secure it properly. By using good security, we can effectively discourage a thief and reduce the risk of theft. Even when leaving a bicycle for only a short time, we should use a suitable lock.
In addition, every owner should know the distinguishing features of their vehicle. It is very important to have detailed information about the bicycle that will make identification easier, such as:
- frame number
- the type and name of the equipment with which the bicycle is fitted
- photographs of the bicycle.
