Record, Register, Report
Record –
Keep a record of the frame number, make and any other marks that can identify your bike if it is stolen.
Take a photo of the bike and write a description of it, so you can describe it accurately if it does get stolen.
Alternatively, when you register on BikeRegister, you can download a Bike Logbook which allows you to write down the main features of your bike, such as frame number, make and model, colour and any other distinguishing features. If stolen, you can give this to police to help track it down.
Register –
Register your bike details onto BikeRegister.com. By marking and registering your bike you stand a chance that the police will be able to return it to you if it is stolen and recovered.
Report – More and more marked bikes are being recovered and returned to their rightful owners, so if your bike is stolen you should definitely report it to the police.
