Due to the rise in bicycle thefts, Lake Worth has a brand new program that is meant to curb thefts. Back in September it was reported that 144 bikes were stolen this year. Of that, 67 were locked and all but 10 of the locks were cut off. 77 bicycles were unlocked.
Theft Prevention
Lake Worth residents will be able to register their bike at various outreach events held by the City. At registration, residents will need to provide their contact information and an identifying number, such as a driver’s license number. That information will be collected into a database for use by PBSO. The ID number will be engraved into their bike in a discrete location. A uniquely numbered decal (sticker) will be issued and placed on the bike. The decal denotes that the bike is registered and will make it easily identifiable to PBSO.
