Protect Your Items NowBicycle theft is Finland's most common property crime. In 2023, 16 364 bicycle thefts were reported to the police (Finance Finland). Since a large proportion of thefts go unreported, the true number is estimated to be 2 to 3 times higher. Stolen bicycles are found abandoned in parks, by roadsides, and in public places, but identifying the owner is nearly impossible.
Serial numbers are rarely recorded, and the same model is owned by thousands of people. Police do not have the resources to investigate every case, and lost property offices are full of unidentified bicycles. E-bikes are an especially attractive target for thieves, as their value is often 1 500 to 5 000 euros.
A QR sticker on the bicycle frame changes the situation. Any finder, police officer, or city official can scan the code and reach the owner immediately.
Attach a QR sticker to the bicycle frame, under the saddle, or on the handlebars. Choose a visible location. The sticker improves recovery chances and acts as a preventive marking.
Activate the bicycle in the dashboard with a clear description and set a reward. If the bicycle is stolen or goes missing, mark it as lost.
The stickers are weatherproof and withstand winter frosts, rain, UV radiation, and normal wear. They adhere well to metal, carbon fibre, and lacquer.
A bicycle is locked in a city bike rack and disappears during the day. The lock has been cut or bypassed. The bicycle is often found abandoned later in another area.
