This time of year, the campus experiences an increase in bicycle thefts. Most bikes that are stolen are the ones secured to campus racks with either chain or cable-type locks. Please consider a U-shaped lock as these are more difficult to compromise. Better even, two locks are better than one.
Campus Police are monitoring the bike parking areas, but we can't be everywhere all the time. Your help is crucial to our success in fighting bike theft on campus! Consider registering your bicycle's serial number information with our Bicycle Registration System at no cost to you.
In case of theft, a photo of your bike and the serial number is kept on file with us. For more information on keeping your bike safe, call our Crime Prevention Office at (519) 253-3000 ext. 2409 or email us at cpolice@uwindsor.ca
