Boro Park Shomrim (BSSP) is having their annual bike etching registrations today, Sunday.

If a stolen bike is recovered by Shomrim, they will be able to locate its proper owner through the numbers etched in your bike.

Last year, many bicycles which had been previously registered were stolen, and police later recovered many of them – and the owners got them back. In contrast, bike owners who don’t register bikes that later get stolen almost never recover their cycles; even if the police later find a bunch of stolen bikes, it’s almost impossible to match a particular bike back up with its owner if there is no registration number, and such recovered bikes are usually auctioned off by the Police Department, along with other unclaimed recovered merchandise.

The event will be held from 2:00PM – 6:00PM at 18th Avenue and 56th Street (18th Avenue Park).
