May 15th 2013 – For Immediate Release
During the month of May, the Campus Safety Services has received several reports of stolen bicycles from campus.
While the Campus Safety Services continues to investigate these incidents, S/Cst Kyle Gallinger (Campus Safety Bike Unit Manager), recommends the following theft prevention tips for bicycles:
-Secure bicycles only to bike racks
-Lock your bicycle in a well-lit and high traffic area
-Cables locks should not be used as the primary lock as they are easily cut
-Place your lock around the bike rack, bike frame, and back wheel. If you have a second lock, place it around the bike frame and front wheel.
The Campus Safety Services also recommends that cyclists photograph and register their bicycle using Carleton’s free online bicycle registration. To register your bicycle today, visit our site: http://ow.ly/l4el6
