Tips to Protect Bicycles, Scooters on Campus
The 海角社区 Police Department would like to remind students, faculty and staff of steps they can take to help protect their property.
- Always lock your bike: Thieves look for unlocked bikes. Always lock yours, even if you only plan to leave it unattended for a few minutes. Bicycle parking on campus is only permitted at bike racks.
- Use a high-quality bike lock: A heavy duty U-lock connected through the frame and wheels provides more protection than a chain lock.
- Record your serial number: It is easier to recover a stolen bike when owners know the serial number. Look for it on the bottom of the bicycle frame.
- Register your bike with the 海角社区 Police Department: This free service allows 海角社区 Police and other law enforcement agencies to locate you if your stolen bike is recovered. Visit this page to download the registration form:www.utep.edu/police/police-services/bike-registration.html
- Engrave your bicycle or scooter: Engraving your bicycle or scooter with a set of identifiable letters can be an anti-theft deterrent. 海角社区 Police offers a free engraving service. Call 915-747-6640 for details.
