Boston South End Update: Boston Real Estate Blog – That’s one way to steal a bike
Boston Condos for Sale
Bikes get stolen in downtown Boston all the time. It goes without saying that they need to be locked up when they are not in use.
I keep mine in a locked to the sailing outside my home. When I use my bike to run errands I try to lock it to a bike rack if there is one. I also make sure the bike is locked in a location where I can see it or where there is a fair amount of foot and car traffic.
Bikes are high theft items. If your bike does get stolen make a police report. You will never get the bike back but the report shows that it was stolen and may be useful for collecting insurance.
Last thought, I know one bike owner that locked his bike to a tree, needless to say it didn’t work out so well.
