The Problem

in losses each year

<5%

are ever recovered

73%

of owners never report theft to police

Bike theft erodes public trust, creates financial stress, and discourages active transportation. It's also linked to drug-related offenses and ties up police resources — recovered bikes overburden evidence storage for months.
