Lately, a large number of people have taken up cycling to help the environment (and their health). Unfortunately, bikes are easier to steal than cars, and thieves are cashing in on society’s new-found ecological awareness.
According to Halifax Home Insurance, a bicycle is stolen approximately once every 71 seconds in the United Kingdom. In 2006, about 440,000 bicycles were stolen, and the number was even higher in 2007.
The authorities in areas like Essex, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, and Somerset are reporting an increase in bicycle theft. In Hertfordshire, theft rates increased 30% between 2001 and 2007. Only a very few place in the United Kingdom, like Loughborough, have reported decreases in the crime.
