23 bikes stolen over last three months

In Arlington's police District 2, which includes Rosslyn, 23 bikes have been stolen over the past three months. Capt. Andy Penn, the new District 2 commander, encouraged residents to register their bikes.  Bike registration allows the police to return recovered bikes to the bikes' owners.

We can't image a more heinous crime than bike theft.  Bikes provide essential transportation and vital recreation.  Bike thieves should be put to hard labor planting trees.  After a few weeks of that, they should be sent to Phoenix Bikes to learn to build their own bikes from the many used bike parts readily available from dumpsters.

I think a fitting punishment would be to take away there driving license and make them bike instead.

Do you know where the bikes were stolen from? Atleast a dozen, inlcuding 2 of mine were found missing from my apartment bike cage today.

Sorry about your bikes. I don't know the location (in District 2) of the other bike thefts. Where are you located (general neighborhood)?
