Bike theft article

Apologies if this has already been posted, but here is an article about bike
theft.

Apparently, more are stolen than are bought new! Not sure about that one
but here's the link anyway:

Interesting. It says the most common method of theft is to lift the bike
into the back of a van then recommends fitting an immobilisor as the first
line of defence.

 

Or, for those with decent newsreaders:

Makes perfect sense - more already owned bikes are in existance than those
that have yet to be sold. Ergo - more bikes available to be stolen.

 

Well, that'll prevent people from stealing them by riding them away. I'd
guess that they meant that most *successful* thefts are those committed by
carrying it off in a van. It's not always possible to anchor the bike in a
parking area.

 

And "If things go wrong, make sure you are covered by a good insurance
company"

So not up until things go wrong then?

 

Cheers for that, I hate clicking tinyurl links, never know where you
might end up.

 

Didn't you notice it was written by an insurer, in theory one that sells
insurance products and fits immobilisers.
