Bike theft stats

Friday, June 10th, 2011

I’ve been searching for bike theft stats for a paper I am writing that explores mobile responsibility. They are not easy to find. As this Guardian article highlights, there is a significant discrepancy in actual theft and reported theft.

Top 10 police forces for bike thefts in 2010:
Metropolitan police: 21,315
Thames Valley: 6,060
Greater Manchester: 5,185
Cambridgeshire: 4,477
Avon and Somerset: 3,895
West Midlands: 3,222
Leicestershire: 3,057
Lancashire: 2,727
Sussex: 2,668
Humberside: 2,440
