Police Scotland Advice: Bike Theft
Safety begins at home
Statistics show that bike thefts are most likely to occur in a semi-private location near the victim’s home; this includes outside areas on the premises and garages around, but not connected to, the home.
Take the same care to lock your bike securely at home as you would on the street.
Ground anchors can be used together with shed or garage alarms, which can be connected to your house alarm system.
Doorbell and external security cameras can also be used as a deterrent to thieves.
You may wish to consider bringing your bike indoors if you don’t have appropriately secure external storage.
