Preventing Bicycle Theft in Bemidji Urges Locking and Registration
Bemidji crime records warn that over half a million bikes will be stolen nationwide this year with about 150 in Bemidji. Through June 1976 Bemidji saw 152 bikes stolen, 51 in the first half of the year. Locking firmly, using strong chains, and securing both wheels are advised, along with statewide bike registration beginning March 1977 and nationwide options like Operation I.D. The article notes low local licensing turnout and a high potential recovery rate with better registration.
