BIKE STOLEN, RAISE AWARENESS ON BIKE THEFT IN DUBLIN, IRELAND CAMPAIGN

my bike (Town Cube) was stolen in front of Aldi Store, along Parnell Street, in the city center of Dublin, Ireland on 9 April 2013 between 12:00 - 1:00 pm. been on the shop for about 10-15 minutes and zap! bike was gone, locks cut, destroyed. reported the incident to the Garda, still waiting for response if they have checked the cctv w/ Aldi store for any clue, etc. i surmise the thieves are there all the time waiting for their victim. i wonder if the city could post notices on bike stands, rails like this: "BEWARE OF BIKE THEFT. LOCK YOUR BIKES AS SECURELY AS POSSIBLE." it sounds embarrassing but i gather bike thief is rampant in the city these days; i surf the web after this incident and noticed a lot of reports on bicycle theft, seems to happen everyday. the Garda told me they simply don't have the resources to prevent this, thus we should raise an awareness campaign for cyclists. if the city can post notices on the streets about bagging the pooh of dogs on the streets, why not about bicycle theft? we have a cycle to work campaign, now we have to protect the bikes, too.
