  Yes it's very low, which makes it all the important for the cycling community to help the police.

  Please take a look at our new stats page for the Met police. The 'sanction detection' rate for 2017 is standing at 1.7%.

  We are keen to talk to anyone who has had a bike part stolen in London for some content we are putting together. 'Bike-stripping' is an issue that is rarely talked about and we want to put a spotlight on it! Got a story that you would want to share?

  Thanks

  We had a stolen bike spotted + recovered at Vauxhall market today. It's worth keeping an eye out there.

  Hey Oliver. It's hard to tell, as there is no pinpoint accuracy. A dot might be a 100 metres from the actual theft location. I doubt they would put the coordinates of someones house or business.

  This is what they say on the police website about locations:

  "Location Anonymisation - The latitude and longitude locations of
  Crime and ASB incidents published on this site always represent the
  approximate location of a crime — not the exact place that it
  happened."

  In the data, locations say "on or not near X road".

  In an ideal world we would be able to see the rate of theft on a cycle parking level - that would be great. We also wish there was formal public data set for cycle stands (all councils publishing data) - OpenStreetMap is user driven so lacks controls.

  The London cycle parking map.

  We have pulled out every London cycle parking location that has been entered onto OpenStreetMap + created an optional layer of police data - reported stolen bikes (over 1 year).
