London Met free security marking events

Given the security consciousness of the riders on here, and the horror stories on the Stolen Bikes thread, I thought this might be of interest:

Police have told me that even when they recover stolen/suspect bikes, they often can't trace the owner. Best case, this means the bike is sold off, worst case, they can't charge the thief and he may even get the bike back again.

Besides, anything that makes your bike less attractive to thieves has to be good!
