AUTUMN IS PRIME TIME FOR BIKE THIEVES
Locksmiths should ensure they offer a full range of security
measures for all types of bikes at this time of year.
According to TRACKER’s annual stolen
motorbike recovery figures, 31% of all
bikes it recovered in 2012 were stolen in
the autumn months.
Stuart Chapman police liaison officer
for TRACKER says, “Our figures show
that autumn sees the highest increase in
the number of bikes being stolen with
the summer months having the lowest
amount of bikes being stolen and recovered.
“In fact we saw a drop of 10% in bikes
being stolen during the winter months,
compared to autumn. Overall, £477,200
worth of motorbikes, mopeds, scooters
and quad bikes were stolen and recovered
by TRACKER during 2012. “At the end of a
good biking season, it always pays to ensure
you have taken adequate measure to protect
your bike when you are not using it. These
simple steps can save heartache and the
expense of finding that your bike has been
stolen while in storage for the winter.”

STERLING ADVICE ON FARM SECURITY
To help farmers and rural
dwellers protect their
property, security experts
Sterling Locks advise
on some more simple
measures to help decrease
the vulnerability of items
regularly targeted by
thieves.
Wherever the ladder is stored,
it should be securely locked.
Equipment such as power
tools, strimmers & chainsaws
can be locked together using
hardened steel chains or
security cables.
Tools & equipment
If ladders are kept on the
property, they are a target for
burglars who then use them to
get further into the property.
2: ATVs/Quad Bikes
Park out of sight. If outside,
secure to a ground or wall
anchor set into a solid surface.
Sterling Locks offers 10mm
and 12mm security chains
with a protective nylon sleeve
in a variety of lengths to
give the reach necessary to
padlock the vehicle to a solid
object or security anchor.
Consider fitting remote stand
alone alarms for sheds or
outbuildings. Digital door
locks provide controlled access
to buildings or garages without
requiring everyone to have
keys.
