Not worth anyone's while nicking it! </p> wee folding bike on "350 bikes stolen in a year at city hotspot (Glasgow)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11186#post-125591 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 10:46:01 +0000 wee folding bike 125591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got the train to Edinburgh yesterday and left a brown Raleigh 20 at Airdrie station. It was still there when I got back. The lock was probably worth more but the bike does the jobs fine. </p> gembo on "350 bikes stolen in a year at city hotspot (Glasgow)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11186#post-125589 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:39:54 +0000 gembo 125589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Police Scotland Lothian were doing this bike marking at bike breakfast in June. I had mine done but the second stage on-line didn't work, possibly my email address not written clearly, bad pen, I had my gloves on etc. does have a sticker on it saying it is bike marked tho.</p> <p>I had my bike stolen in the hot spot communal Hillhead stair in 1985. Had lent it to a vet student I was enamoured of and she left it unlocked in the stairwell. I loved that bike, Dawes five speed </p> cc on "350 bikes stolen in a year at city hotspot (Glasgow)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11186#post-125587 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:35:07 +0000 cc 125587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So - have I understood this right - Police Scotland (in Glasgow) is giving people free bike security marking while at the same time Police Scotland (in Edinburgh) has now stopped selling people low cost bike security marking?</p> <p>I've just checked the current <a href="http://www.scotland.police.uk/keep-safe/safety-advice/out-and-about/protect-your-bicycle/">police advice</a> and there's no mention of registering a bicycle to help prevent theft. It recommends registering a bicycle after it's been stolen. </p> wee folding bike on "350 bikes stolen in a year at city hotspot (Glasgow)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11186#post-125583 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:51:29 +0000 wee folding bike 125583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/crime-courts/350-bikes-stolen-in-a-year-at-city-hotspot.22204971" rel="nofollow">http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/crime-courts/350-bikes-stolen-in-a-year-at-city-hotspot.22204971</a> </p>
