\"GPS trackers provide added value for police work\"<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=”teaser-imb” css=”.vc_custom_1607350718726{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;}”]D\u00fcsseldorf. Fabian M.* fell victim to bike thieves not just once but twice this year. Both times the police managed to recover the 5,000-euro e-cargo bike Zinks a built-in IT’S MY BIKE tracker.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cGPS trackers provide immense added value for police work. They help detect criminal offences and find stolen electric bikes,\u201d states theft victim Fabian M.*, himself a policeman. \u201cOnce such systems become established and thieves realise that bikes are protected, thefts can be prevented before they even happen,\u201d affirms a convinced Fabian.<\/p>\n

Fabian first fell victim to theft at his home in the D\u00fcsseldorf\u2019s Friedrichstadt district in April. The moment he noticed his e-bike was no longer parked where he had left it, he immediately reported the theft to the IT\u2019S MY BIKE team. Since Fabian\u2019s bike was subsequently located very close to the scene of the crime, Fabian began looking for it himself, quickly spotting it beside a footpath. \u201cThe thief must have injured himself because there were traces of blood on the frame. He obviously had difficulty carrying the well-secured bike away,\u201d he surmises. \u201cI had fastened it with four different locks.\u201d He contacted his colleagues at the local police station, who took down the details but were unfortunately unable to identify the perpetrator. <\/p>\n

Exactly six months later, misfortune struck again with a similar incident: Fabian had parked his bike in his building\u2019s stairway as he was about to use it again. By the time he noticed it was gone, the cargo bike was already been spirited away to D\u00fcsseldorf\u2019s Flingern-S\u00fcd district, as indicated by the GPS position. The victim notified the police and the IT\u2019S MY BIKE team once more. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe thief had hidden the cargo bike in a basement. A smart lock was emitting acoustic signals, which allowed us to identify the right basement,\u201d explains a pleased Sebastian Stoll, who helped with police work as part of the IT\u2019S MY BIKE team. The officers not only found the e-bike they were seeking in the basement but also other objects, which had possibly been stolen. <\/p>\n

Fabian was relieved to get his bike back again, albeit slightly damaged. The thieves had removed the pannier rack and tried to scratch off the IT\u2019S MY BIKE GPS tracked sticker. \u201cI now almost always park my e-bike inside my apartment,\u201d he concludes, having learned his lesson in 2020. <\/p>\n
