Lock your bike, Bro.

Santa Cruz Police report that 396 bikes were stolen last year, a sharp increase over previous years when 213 bike thefts were reported in 2010 and 177 in 2009.

Bike registration, which is required for city residents, costs $3 and can aid in the return of your property. Santa Cruz police check their records if they see bike registration on a recovered bike.

3 foot law for Indiana?
