As students return to campus this fall, many are arriving at class on foot — not by choice, but because their bikes have been stolen. While exiting their dorms, classrooms or dining halls, they quickly realize their trip back has become much longer, left with a broken lock and a missing ride. Bike theft has been a problem on campuses across the nation for years. Leaving a bike unattended for more than an hour is a risk most are not willing to take, and the once-popular cable locks are now obsolete as thieves simply cut through them to score a new set of wheels.
