Ever have you bike stolen?

Posted 25 Nov 2011 to News by barry

While overall crime rates are falling, bike thefts have increased by a significant 54% since 2008.  In many cases, the frustration of having your bike stolen can be compounded by the difficulty encountered when trying to provide the necessary information to the Gardaí such as serial number, sales receipt etc. Although bike theft can still be reported, without the identification details the chances of reuniting a stolen bike with its owner are very slim.

To combat this problem, ThinkBike, a bike shop based in Rathmines, are launching a new service called ThinkBike Security, which will provide a database of important information such as:

  • The serial number of your bike
  • A photo of you, the customer, with your new bike.
  • A copy of your purchase receipt.

With this information there should be no questions over ownership.

The service is available to all customers who purchase a new bike at ThinkBike and also all past customers. The service will also be available to non-existing customers for a small charge.

With ThinkBike Security customers can provide proof of purchase, serial number and photo to the Gardai and Insurance Companies and customers would be more likely to get their bikes back once they have been recovered by Gardai.

To find out more about this security initiative, check out the ThinkBike website
