Pritzwalk police are looking for the owner of a stolen women's bicycle!

The Pritzwalk police are currently faced with a mystery: a women's bicycle was found in Kammermark on July 10th, and the officers are now looking for the owner of this possibly stolen bike. A police patrol discovered the bicycle at a bus stop after they had previously seen a 38-year-old known to the police riding the bike. However, so far there is no information about the identity of the rightful owner, which is why the police are asking for help.

The sought-after women's bicycle from the Vortex brand, model City 200, is painted beige-white and has some striking features. These include a red bicycle bag on the handlebars, a trailer hitch, a blue lock, brown handlebar grips and green valve caps. The frame number CS770087 is partially completely recognizable. Anyone who knows the owner or has come into possession of the bike themselves should contact the police in Pritzwalk immediately on 03395/7530 to make the return easier. Nordkurier reports that the police seized the bike to protect property.

Bicycle thefts in general

The theft of bicycles is a recurring problem in Germany. According to current statistics from GDV, the numbers are constantly increasing, which leads many bike owners to consider whether special bike insurance could make sense. Owners of high-quality bicycles or e-bikes in particular should consider insuring their bike.

Bicycle insurance not only offers protection against the risks of theft, but also covers damage, vandalism or accidents. In contrast to conventional household contents insurance, the compensation for special bicycle policies can be significantly higher. Users have the choice between replacement value or current value compensation, whereby the replacement value covers the amount for a new bike of equivalent value.

Tips to avoid theft

• Fahrrad immer sicher abstellen, idealerweise in geschützten Bereichen.
• Hochwertige Schlösser verwenden – ein gutes Schloss macht Dieben das Leben schwer.
• Das Fahrrad mit der Rahmennummer registrieren lassen und die Versicherung im Blick haben.
