At around 1:00 p.m., a 48-year-old from Holzkirchen parked his black bicycle properly with a sturdy bicycle lock.

The owner noticed the loss on December 8th, 2024. In addition, a black Ciclista street bike was stolen in Otterfing on December 9th.

Bicycle theft: A big problem
Bicycle theft is a widespread problem in Germany. According to GDV, every owner of a high-quality bicycle or e-bike should definitely think about special bicycle insurance. These insurance policies not only cover theft, but also offer protection against vandalism and various types of damage, which goes beyond household contents insurance.
The choice between replacement value and current value compensation is crucial. While replacement value compensation reimburses the purchase price for a new bike of equal value, current value compensation takes into account the age and worn quality of the bicycle at the time of theft. If you think about the issue seriously, it may be worth taking out appropriate insurance to minimize financial losses in the event of theft.
The police in Holzkirchen are hoping for numerous tips from witnesses in order to counteract the increasing number of bicycle thefts. Cyclists should always be vigilant and park their bikes safely so as not to be among the injured themselves.
