Bright Bike3
NBC4 reports that police have been using bait bikes to catch thieves on H Street. Apparently 2 bikes were placed in the 600 block of H Street and they bikes were stolen five times in under an hour. So please lock up your bike.

I wonder how many times the bikes would be stolen if they were placed in Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Anacostia, etc. Would be nice to see if the results on H street are anamolous.

Over by Gallery Place there are a lot of bicycle thefts...mine got stolen out of a business my wife worked at there. Someone actually had the nerve to walk in and go into a back room and wheeled it out!

Anon-I used to live in Dupont and mine was stolen. Great neighborhood, great lock, that's just DC for you.

Get the correct type of lock and you'll be fine. The key is to always lock up your bike/scooter/motorcycle/trailer. That includes when it's in your backyard. Just be smart.
