The theft of bicycles is a big problem on the Stellenbosch campus.

Follow these tips to NOT become a victim:

• Lock your bicycle with a u-lock. Fasten it to both the bicycle frame and a bicycle stand.
• Don't use a thin chain or cable locks. These locks are broken by thieves without any difficulty.  
• The use of a combination lock is also not advised.
• REGISTER your bicycle for FREE at Campus Security. If your stolen bicycle is recovered, Campus Security can identify the owner immediately.
• Make use of the bicycle sheds on campus.
• Those who want make use of the sheds must register and activate their bicycle and student card at Campus Security to obtain entry.  
• Rather lock your bicycle inside the shed than outside to the framework of the shed.
• Keep a record of the bicycle's serial number, model, colour and any outstanding characteristics. Write it down and/or take a photograph.
• Label your bicycle with your name and information. Be creative.

Report any suspicious people, with a good description, to Campus Security immediately.
