Officer Sue Shine – Glendale Police Department:

As Holidays approach, remember to remove gifts and valuables from the car and lock up every night. If you give or receive bicycles, remember to write down the serial number (every single bike has one under the down tube) and keep it somewhere safe. That way, if it is stolen and recovered, we can charge the person for the crime and return your bike! Any item without a serial number can be etched with your initials or other unique mark to recover in the same way.
