Does this help?

[oldtom]

I'm not aware of how effective or otherwise this initiative has been in London or, indeed, anywhere else. Given the professional nature of much of the bicycle crime in the capital, I suspect the signs provide little deterrent effect but I suppose we can't blame the police for trying.

Right here ! https://shop.smartwater.com/

Forensic, traceable liquids - not anywhere near as daft as it sounds

You can get smart dots and UV marking here. New bikes are already on the database. you just link it up with yourself. https://www.bikeregister.com/

You can also add your existing bikes and link it up with serial no.

Good link CB, how is the Scott going, we don't hear much about these on here. Missed you at the flyby, hauf blind me, mind you I was up at High Gavinburn for a good view. Could have stood you a pint in the Ettrick. If your ever stuck down this way Pm me . Tools ,tea and buns, or a drop of the cratur always available.

 

[cosybike]

Cool! will do. Bike going fine - It's coming on tour with me.

My French Teacher used to run the Ettrick!

Good lord, not wee Gordon H. Long gone now, it's a bit of a complicated story. Small world right enough, you're never more than five people from someone you know. Oddly enough I bumped into wee Mary the barmaid recently at the senior citizen's hang gliding club, still the same old bluddy Mary just with a zimmer now. It was Mary herself that said they should never have let women in the place, had to hide the bayonet practice wall and cut out the Friday brick throwing. Ruined the place completely. No more mongrel pies from Gerry's now either.
For those readers somewhat puzzled by the concept of a French Teacher from a big secondary school running a popular Clydeside boozer,rest assured stranger things happen. Tell us more about your tour, sounds interesting but I hope there's none of that sex &drugs &sausage rolls stuff involved.
Keep taking the tablets.

I recently attended a conference at New Scotland Yard on the efficacy of Smart Water. It works well 99% as a. Preventative measure but ônly îf one remembers to put the smart water tag on the bike - thus acting as a deterrent. I'm planning to use smart water (as I do on my Mac products) as well as GPS. I also plan to buy panniers to conceal the battery, thus thieves can't tell that it's an E-bike as E-bike is clearly more attractive as more expensive.

They have arrested a number of casual thieves with stings using this method, but I doubt the pros could be trapped so easily. With that sort of theft they've had more success with locating and arresting the fences, the second stage in the theft chain.
