In recent days multi-level living residents in South Brisbane have had a number of bicycles stolen from underground storage units located in basement parking storage cage areas.
Remember, it only takes a few seconds to steal a bike, so let’s work together to prevent, secure and identify your bicycle. In many cases owners never see their bicycles again simply because they cannot be identified.
Reduce the chances of theft by:
Ensuring storage cages are securely locked and secure;
Ensure bicycles themselves are locked and secure to something solid within the cage;
If possible securing your bike in a busy, well-lit location area where it can easily be seen and under CCTV surveillance; and
If possible, take off the front wheel and secure it to the frame or back wheel or take it up to your apartment.

Is your balcony door locked?
Police are urging residents to be vigilant with home security, especially balconies in homes and residential high rise buildings.
It is easy to become complacent with security on balconies. Living several floors up doesn’t give you added security, you still need to practice good security habits.
Some offenders will climb or scale tall buildings and obstacles to gain access to a balcony or residence.
Ensure that you key lock security doors and windows including balconies;
Remove items from around your yard or property. Offenders can use these to gain access to balconies;
Know your neighbours;
Report all unusual behaviour or suspicious persons.
Please review your home security but most importantly your security habits.
Remember that having a lock on your door will not keep you safe if you don’t actually lock it.
Ensure you have sufficient airflow at all times.
