Thanks for the correction. English has never been my strong suit.
There are three detained property stores at Police stations in Bristol. I have just finished recording the frame numbers of every bike in two stations and I will be visiting the third next week. These numbers and descriptions will then searched on immobilise.com in an attempt to locate owners.
From next week, there will be an officer assigned to undertake this work in Bristol full time searching both bikes and mobile phones.
So if you ride in Bristol, I would encourage you to register your bike on www.immobilise.com to increase the odds of having it returned if it comes into police possession.
