Registering your bicycle can greatly assist the Department of Campus Safety and the Holland Police Department to investigate stolen bicycle complaints. The Department of Campus Safety suggests that all bicycles are locked to bicycle racks either outside on-campus buildings or inside residence halls. This is your best defense against having your bicycle stolen. |
