She added that more bicycles are stolen in the months of April, May, September and October. In 2006 there were 94 bike thefts compared to 32 this year to date, she said.

The crime advisory e-mailed to the GW community instructed bike owners to secure their bike with at least two locks, make sure removable parts are secure, not leave a bike on a rack for long periods of time and register their bikes with UPD and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Two locks? It's an arms race. It's like the old joke "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you."
