Frequency of bicycle thefts in Germany

bicycle thefts are an increasingly worrying problem in German cities. According to a survey by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), over 300,000 bicycles were reported as stolen in 2022. This shows a slight increase compared to previous years and makes it clear that particularly high -priced bicycles are the target of thefts. The theft of e-bikes has proven to be particularly attractive to criminals, which is also reflected in the present incidents in Friedrichshafen. Such a development means that owners are increasingly investing in theft fuses and GPS tracking systems to better protect their bicycles.

measures for prevention

In order to counter bicycle thefts, many cities rely on various prevention measures. This includes, among other things, the police reconnaissance campaigns, the public relations work to sharpen consciousness for theft protection and community initiatives such as attaching bicycle stands in safer places. The police recommend that bicycles always be completed on firmly anchored items and use high -quality locks. In addition, registration in bicycle databases should be considered in order to increase the opportunities of the replacement of stolen bikes.
