3.2 million kroner (429,000 euros) spent to find two bikes stolen: theft of the project the municipality of Copenhagen is not very conclusive. Some 18,000 bicycles are stolen each year in the Danish capital. To fight against this scourge, the city has distributed free to cyclists 5300 chips to fix their gear.
Objective: to contract, with readers of GPS to identify stolen bikes, the chip is activated after reporting the theft to the website of the municipality. The result? A fiasco. Nothing more simple that to wrest back reflector, which contains the chip. Besides the formula does not take account of organized theft.
The most expensive bikes "are not found in the corner," but take the path of Eastern Europe in trucks, as noted by Councillor Lars Dueholm. "At that price it was able to distribute free bikes - bikes golden", another ton elected Jacob Naesager. "We could have better sand the bike paths in winter." The device of the former mayor Ritt Bjerregaard was buried.
The alternative time proposed by the municipality - barcode stickers that can be scanned by smartphone - was also abandoned. Copenhagen has one million bicycles.
