Did you buy a bike over the last year? You may want to give this a shot.
The Halton Police has partnered with 529 Garage – a community watch program for your bike.
Two million bikes are stolen every year across North America, with many of them not being able to be returned to owners despite eventually being located. Using the 529 Garage App, a bike owner is able to register their bike. That provides bike owners a new way to make sure they can get their bike back if it were to ever be stolen.
Once your bike is registered, if it’s stolen, you can start an alert to make the most of the 529 community to find your stolen bike. The 529 community includes the HRPS, bike clubs and other 529 app users. If a bike is found, the HRPS will be able to return the bike to its owner.
