Preventing Bike Theft in Belgium: QR-Code Stickers for Enhanced Security

Many cyclists have already experienced the misfortune of a bike theft. The experience is obviously quite unpleasant and the authorities have decided to take measures to curb the whims of thieves.

In Brussels, for example, cyclists can receive a sticker with a unique QR-Code. The latter, stuck on the bike, can then no longer be removed. The advantage of this device? When a bicycle is purchased second-hand, one can quickly check whether the bicycle has been reported as stolen.
