Bicycle theft is a fairly common crime. Around 3,000 bicycles are stolen or reported missing in Slovenia every year. Thieves are not picky; they steal all kinds of bicycles, regardless of value and make. The most important thing for them is that their venture is as easy as possible.
| We therefore advise you to protect your bicycle well and not to give scoundrels a chance. |
Write down the details of the bicycle and take a photo of it. When reporting a theft, victims usually only know the make and color of their bicycle, but no other information, which makes it even more difficult for the police to investigate these actions. The more data police officers receive when a theft is reported, the better the chance of the bicycle being identified and ultimately returned to its owner.
Form - description of the bicycle
When reporting a theft, would you be able to describe to a police officer what kind of bicycle was stolen from you? You can help yourself using the Owner And Bicycle Details Form.
You can do the most for the security of your property yourself. |

Advice for securing your bicycle
|
If your bicycle is stolen, it makes sense to also review the list of found items on the police website. Perpetrators can only use the bicycle as a means of transport and then throw it away. Such bicycles are recorded as found. If the owner cannot be identified, they are subsequently sold at a found-object auction.
