Stolen Bikes

Unfortunately there are some low lifes out there who want to steal your bikes so we have created this page to try and help you get it back and make it harder for the thieves!! 
This service is free of charge all you have to do is click here  to list your stolen bike.
 
Stats:
 
Can''t get the latest figures as the police recording system changed mid 2005 and for some reason the data is inaccessable.

However I have been advised that the figures have been fairly static since 2004 and were as follows:

- 103 bikes reported stolen
- 36 were recovered
- 40 dirt bikes including farm bikes, enduro, mx etc hardly any of these were recovered
- 15 approx road bikes
- over 50% were scooters
 
The busiest months for thieves are June July and August
 
Tips:
 
- If you have a trailer keep it secure so it can't be used to nick your bike.
- Lock your bikes with a big chain and solid padlock especially if being left on a trailer or ute
- Record your serial numbers and etch your initials somewhere secret like bottom of forks or inside swingarm (not on the engine as it will probably end up in some drop kicks go kart)
