Crime Prevention Tip     BICYCLE THEFT PREVENTION   Did You Know? • As many as 3,000 bicycles are reported stolen in Winnipegevery year. • The city recovers up to 1,500 bicycles each year, but only 10% to 12% are returned to their rightful owners. • The city sells over 1,000 bicycles a year because owners can't be traced to the recovered bicycle. • The city holds auctions of bicycles twice a year.   The best way to protect your bicycle is with a good lock and to register it with the City of Winnipeg Community Services Bicycle Recovery Section.
