Theft prevented thanks to GPS tracking<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=”teaser-imb” css=”.vc_custom_1634631715033{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Heike Klein intended to ride to work but her e-bike had disappeared without a trace. Things could have been worse, but luckily the police managed to hunt down the bike quickly thanks to GPS tracking, rapid assistance from IT\u2019S MY BIKE and a perfectly networked neighbourhood. Yet that is not the whole story. [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The loss: bicycle stolen<\/strong>
\nWhen Berlin resident Heike Klein wanted to set off for work on 13 September, she had a nasty shock: her brand-new e-bike had disappeared without a trace. \u201cA real shame. I had saved for three years to buy the bike,\u201d attests Klein. \u201cAnd now someone had stolen it from me after just two weeks.\u201d She had locked it to the banister as she had no room inside her flat. Klein reported the theft to the nearest police station immediately. Luckily, the bike had been fitted with an IT\u2019S MY BIKE GPS tracker. \u201cMy bike dealer recommended having one and fitted it for me,\u201d states Klein. \u201cThe tracker not only provides me with security but also helps me to keep fit.\u201d She pressed the Report theft button in the tracking app while still at the station, thus notifying the IT\u2019S MY BIKE team. After just a few minutes, she received a call and the promise that the police would be sent out in search of the bike as soon as the first GPS signal was received. \u201cI also posted a message about the theft on the nebenan.de neighbourhood network platform, asking people to keep an eye out,\u201d says Klein.<\/p>\n

Success: bike returned along with seven others<\/strong>
\nThe GPS tracker emitted the anxiously awaited signal at lunchtime the very next day. The IT\u2019S MY BIKE team immediately alerted the police. One of Klein\u2019s neighbours had also already phoned them shortly before: he had seen three men load bikes into a delivery van, including the missing bike with its distinctive silver blue paintwork, he was sure. He even provided the van\u2019s registration number. The police set off in pursuit and stopped the vehicle on the Berlin motorway in the Tempelhofer Damm area. The driver was apprehended. The missing bike was indeed in the van along with seven more bikes. The IT\u2019S MY BIKE team immediately informed Klein that her bike had been retrieved. She was overjoyed. \u201cEveryone was pleased for me \u2013 friends, work colleagues and neighbours on nebenan.de,\u201d she affirms. \u201cWithout the tracker my bike would have been lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
