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.
