Theft
Someone had a go at your lock: opening, police report, new lock
Do not touch the lock. Photos, location, time. WhatsApp us. If the bike is still locked, we open or cut it off.
Police report if there is damage or theft. We are not detectives, we are a witness to the lock.
Then a better lock. Whoever tried once sometimes comes back.
Express if you need the bike now. + €25, we aim for half an hour.
Photos of the damage, the time and the place. Only then touch the lock. Yanking it only messes up the report.
A police report belongs with theft, or a successful attempt where something is gone. The steps are in bike stolen, including the police and Stop Heling.
If the bike is still there, we free it and fit a better lock. Calculate your price. Express + €25 if you have to take it now.
