One measure we, (as the potential victims) can take is to make sure we write
down the bikes serial numbers
I have all of my bikes serial numbers along with corresponding pictures of them
as well
I would never leave a bike locked up outside of a fence on your property, 2 of
ours were locked up to our deck prior to having our fence put up, we came home
to find a cut lock and no bikes
The police keep great records of bikes reported stolen, and its a THICK book
The one thing I will say, is if you see a kid riding your stolen bike, they
will give it back quickly if you approach them

Yeah, I had parts stolen off my bike a few years ago. Last night, a neighbor of
mine who constantly makes the mistake of locking her bike to a telephone pole
also had her front wheel stolen, and it's her only transportation.
What can be done about this? Obviously parents aren't wondering where their
kids are getting all of their bikes and bike parts.
Maybe the city should require everybody to register their bikes, just like they
do with dog licenses. If a kid is caught riding a bike without a sticker,
impound it. If it's found to be stolen, arrest the little shit heads.
