My e-bike was stolen this night or the night before, in Zug, close to my building. It was secured by a solid safe. The security was still hanging there solidly, but without the bike…

It seems to be quite common in Switzerland since years. Bikes being stolen. And it getting not necessarily better. Like twice more bikes stolen in 2022 compared to 2020.

I wonder if there is anything being done to stop that ?

  1. Bring it inside, unfortunately nothing will be done about this. Police doesn’t care about petty crime and people and laws are super hellbent here about privacy so any CCTV cameras around your housing unit is a big no no here.

  2. What could be done about that? (Except what the bike owner could do.)

  3. What is a “solid safe”?
    I wouldn’t secure an e-bike with anything less than a sold secure diamond rating and avoid leaving it overnight outside regardless, because all locks can be defeated given enough time.
    Recommend a Hiplok D1000 or similar u-lock and insurance.
