Free Bike Marking
Published on 23 October 12
Increase your chances of being reunited with a stolen bike.
Many lost or stolen bikes recovered by the police cannot be returned to their rightful owners because they’re not on a database that the police can access. As a result, many cycles that come into their possession end up going to auction.
You can greatly increase your chances of recovering your bike by signing up to the University's free bike marking scheme, which offers the following:
- 'Etching' of a unique serial number onto the frame in a highly visible location;
- Recording of owner/cycle details on a University database to enable our security officers to check them;
- Entry of the above on the national property database ‘Immobilise’', which is checked by the police when they recover lost or stolen property.
