Back on April 20, 2023, a student returned to where he had securely locked his bicycle during school hours, only to discover that it had been stolen after the lock had been cut. Fortunately, the police were provided with a detailed description of the bicycle along with its serial number.

Fast forward to Monday, May 6, 2024, when police responded to complaints from neighbors about suspicious activity at a vacant home. Upon arrival, they found the property deserted but noticed a bicycle placed in the kitchen. Upon running a check, it was confirmed that the bicycle matched the description of one on file as stolen.

Thanks to the serial number on file, the police were able to successfully trace the bicycle back to its owner.
