The most commonly stolen bikes are unsecured bikes. A significant percentage of bike thefts occur because the bike was left unlocked and unattended.
Here's why:
- Opportunistic theft: Thieves often target easily accessible bikes, particularly those left unlocked in public spaces or areas with limited security.
- Convenience: Many bike thefts are not planned; thieves simply need a quick and convenient way to get around.
- Lack of deterrent: Unsecured bikes are easy targets, as thieves face minimal risk of being caught.
While any type of bike can be stolen, unsecured bikes are the most vulnerable.
