Bolesławiec County Police Headquarters:

Are you the owner of a bicycle? Remember to protect it from thieves and keep important information that enables its identification.

How can you avoid being robbed?

  • Bicycles disappear from outside shops, even when attached to lampposts and racks, and from basements—because the locks were easy to overcome. Thieves steal bicycles from balconies and stairwells because owners think that an intercom at the main entrance to the building is sufficient protection. When buying a bicycle, we should remember to choose protection appropriate to its value
  • if we use good security, we can effectively discourage a thief and reduce the risk of theft
  • when leaving a bicycle, even for a short time, we should use an appropriate lock.

What should you do if it is stolen?

Officers:

Every owner should know the characteristics of their property. It is very important to have detailed information about the bicycle to facilitate its identification:

  • the frame number
  • the type and name of the equipment fitted to the bicycle
  • photographs of the bicycle.
