Protect Your Bicycle From Theft

• Always secure your bicycle frame to a bicycle rack or stationary object with a alloy- hardened U - shaped lock (even if you're only going to be gone just a minute). Most locking cables and chains, regardless of a hardened case, can be cut with bolt cutters.
• University Police sell Kryptonite brand U - shaped locks at cost.
• Immediately report suspicious person(s) / activity in vicinity of bicycle racks.
• Register your bicycle with University Police by either using the online bicycle registration (PDF) or in person at the University Police station. Registration serves as a deterrent to theft and aids in the recovery of stolen bicycles. At University Police, community members may also register their bicyles with the Evanston Police Department ($1.00 fee) or Chicago Police Department (free).
• When you lock and leave your bicycle, try to choose a public place where passers-by will notice a thief.
• When possible, release the front wheel and secure together with the back tire. Remember to also secure removable seats.
• Keep records including serial number, description of bicycle and bill of sale. If your bicycle is stolen, immediately notify University Police.
• Put your bicycle in storage when not in use. Bicycles are prohibited from being stored in corridors, hallways, stairwells, lounges or any thoroughfare.
