What To Do If Your Bike Is Stolen

Report the theft to the police. Even if you don’t think you are likely to get your bike back it is worth reporting theft. Provide as much information as you can, including:

Frame number
Type of bike
Any distinctive details
Where and when it was stolen
A photo (if you have one)

You can also report incidents by phone or in person.

When you report the theft ask for your Crime Reference Number: having a number will help you to trace the progress of your case, and if you have cycle theft insurance you will need this number to report the theft to the insurance company.
