A report in my local rag about 2 women getting their bikes stolen at cramond.

Hope they get their bikes back.

2 ebikes stolen in Edinburgh

I would really hope that the first time a bike shop gets a hold of them, that there is some sort of digital registration that can flag them as stolen, and the bike shop can contact the police.

Transition Smuggler was stolen from a tourists (locked) car roof carrier yesterday too.
Edinburgh/Tweed V is brutal for bike theft.

Edinburgh bike theives won't take them to a bike shop at all Will.

Yeah, I suppose not, wishful thinking! The kiddies around here who steal bikes do it to have them and mostly if you see one of them riding yours, you just ask for it back and they give it up looking slightly embarrassed. Comes with living in a village I suppose, you'll know someone who knows their names!

I invest in gold-rated d-locks and chains, but there's not a lot you can do if someone pulls a knife on you.

I really hope that more ebikes, and maybe electronic shifting like SRAM AXS, can be keyed to be useless if stolen. That would make a huge difference, much more so than trying to track stolen bikes with GPS. We need to be able to brick the bike and the major components, so there's no value in the parts.
