Every year hundreds of bicycles are stolen on campus. Very few of these bikes are ever recovered and even fewer arrests are made. But a new program created by the UW Police has changed all that.
“It was actually stolen out of my basement in my apartment,” said Shawn Vesely. “I was pretty upset. I was wondering where my bike went. Who came into my house and took it.”
Stories like this are all too common as bicycles are one of the most stolen items on the UW Campus. But, University Police may have found a way to make sure your ride home doesn’t ride away.
