SECURE YOUR BICYCLE FROM THEFT!

everyone remembers to lock up their bikes at all times. Bicycles thefts are one of the most reported thefts occurring in
the City of Marinette and we turn over many unclaimed bikes for resale quarterly. If you lock up your bike there is less
chance of it being stolen. If you do lose your bike, remember to report it to the Marinette Police Department at 715-
732-5200. This will ensure it is returned to the rightful owner if we recover it.
