Every place in the world does probably. But how would you prove an unmarked, cheap bike was stolen?

- Propelloni 2y agoYou wouldn't but nowadays no bike is unmarked, even the cheap ones.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoCan’t you trivially deface an identifier?
- NicoJuicy 2y agoIn Belgium, it's a hard to remove sticker on a consistent place with a qr code. It would take work to remove it cleanly and/or cost money/time to paint over it. So it's less attractive. Ps. You'll still need to take care of your 10 k. Bike ofc. Ps. 2 : engraving isn't done anymore since bike frames got smaller.
- lukan 2y agoHow would you know a marked bike was stolen? Does the police offer a public listing of all the stolen bikes? (I do not think so, but this probably would make sense)
- dghughes 2y agoIf you can't and the owner can and if you are caught then you are liable.
- Thorrez 2y agoIf the seller threatens to "steal it again".
