I got a new bike for Christmas. I bought really nice bike locks based on recommendations to go with it.
It feels like bike theft is given less priority than many other property theft crimes, that there are opportunistic thefts and bike theft rings. I've read of people and organizations that work to return bikes to owners...
This is a really nice bike that I'd like to increase my odds of getting it back, are there bike registries or databasesI should look for to add my bike to? Local, regional, national ones?
Defending against bike theft
Re: Defending against bike theft
There's the City of Minneapolis Bicycle Registration Database. I'm not sure if other cities have something similar.
