Stolen bicycles.
on auction block

HOT BICYCLES are
being fenced Saturday
at the North Vancouver
Recreation Centre but
the. thieves won't share
in the profits.

Approximately 150 stolen
bicycles recovered by North
Vancouver RCMP over the
last year are being sold off
to the public, said North
Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Don
Jette.

Doors at the Recreation
Centre’s Capilano Room
open at noon and the auc-
tion begins at 1 p.m., Jette
said.
The stolen bicycles were
recovered by police, but
because owners failed to give
an exact description of the

bike to police thet could not -

be returned.

“*Between Nov. 1984, and
Nov. 1985, 645 bicycles were
reported stolen,’’ said Jette.

“‘While this represents an

‘1 per cent decrease from

last year, at an average cost
of $400 per bicycte, the an-
nual bill for lost bicycles is
$258,000.""

The RCMP suggest bike
owners engrave their driver’s
licence number (or a parent’s
number) on the bicycle. This
protects it from theft and
ensures the bike can be

returned if recovered by
Police.

Jette says the North Van-
couver detachment is star-
ting a bicycle identification
program early in the new
year. For no cost they will
engrave your driver's licence
number in ten different loca-
tions — including all remov-
able pieces — of each bicy-
cle.

This saves having to re-
cord the individual parts of
the cycle, Jette said.

Watch the News for fur-
ther information on times,
dates and locations of the
identification program.
