Bicycle Theft

A lot of bicycles have been stolen this seaon in JP. I have been in charge of the property that comes into the station for about the last year and many bikes have been recovered. I strongly advise all bike owners to note the serial number on the bike. We cross check the serial number with www.trace.com upon recovery.
