Good Morning Everyone,</div>

I am writing to ask for your assistance in getting word out to our community members regarding a recent increase in bicycle and scooter thefts throughout campus. In most of these incidents, the victim had affixed their bicycle/scooter to one of our community
bicycle racks with a U-lock device. In the case of the stolen scooters, though a U-lock had been used, the lock was not affixed in the proper location on the scooter to secure it properly. Please see the attached crime prevention flyer on the proper way to
secure scooters. Please encourage anyone using a bicycle on campus to purchase a U-Lock and to properly secure the bicycle frame to one of our MIT community bike racks. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Be safe, Doc </div>
