The three Rs for cyclists everywhere.
By reporting your bike if it is stolen, you are increasing your chances of having it returned to you. These three simple steps greatly increase the likelihood of a stolen bike being returned to its rightful owner:
Record – keep a record of the frame number, make and any other marks that can identify your bike. There are a number of bike-marking events. For more details, visit www.met.police.uk
Register – there are number of websites which allow cyclists to register bike details. ‘BikeRegister’ is the preferred cycle online registration service of the MPS – www.bikeregister.com
Report – reporting a theft of a bike allows the police to check databases and contact the owner once the bike is recovered. For more information on cycling in the Capital, visit www.tfl.gov.uk/cycling
