[TheThinkTank] tracking of bikes

Hi, all!

We are Community Bike Works, a youth development program in Allentown, PA. We plan to serve about 500 youth in our Earn a Bike and Junior Earn a Bike programs this year.

Often our students will report that their bikes have been lost or stolen within several months of their earning them. Has anyone implemented any shop procedures that work well to track the bikes that leave their shop, or otherwise to prevent/deter thefts, especially for young people?

Thank you for any thoughts you may have,

Kim Schaffer
