Police reports of bicycle thefts in the Brussels Region have reached epidemic proportions over the last ten years during which the city has been flooded with Third World migrants, despite decreasing in the rest of Belgium:
In 2018, 3,719 reports of bicycle theft in Brussels were filed with the police. Ten years earlier, in 2008, ‘only’ 1,500 bicycles were reported stolen in the same Region.
“Bicycles have a different place in the mobility landscape compared to ten years ago,” said Olivier Slosse, who is responsible for an internal work-group concerning bicycle theft in the Brussels-Capital-Ixelles police zone, to The Brussels Times. “Sometimes a bike is people’s only means of transport, especially in the city, meaning cyclists invest far more money in them than they used to, which in turn increases their value,” Slosse added.
The figures “only concerns the reported thefts. The phenomenon is actually more serious,” according to several cycling associations, reports RTBF.
“The figures never show the complete reality of the situation. Not everyone reports their stolen bicycle to the police, and if they do, they do not always do so in the police zone the bike has been stolen in,” said Ilse Van De Keere, the spokesperson for the police zone Brussels-Capital-Ixelles to The Brussels Times.
The number of stolen bicycles are so high that the Brussels police have created the ‘Veloflic Polbru’ Facebook page to post pictures of stolen bikes they have found, hoping to locate the owner. People can also message the Facebook page to report a theft.
31,078 bicycles have been reported stolen in Belgium in 2018, which comes down to about 85 per day. Compared to previous years, the overall number of reports has decreased everywhere in Belgium, except for in the Capital-Region.
“We are taking preventive measures by warning people to register their bikes, to use geotracking systems like that guy who could locate his stolen bike in Albania, or use at least two different kinds of locks, so the bicycles will be more complicated to steal and less attractive to thieves. Additionally, we are also taking measures to make it more difficult to sell a stolen bike, by reacting to suspicious second-hand sales and keep track of things online,” Slosse added.
There was a time in the not-too-distant past when people did not have to lock up their bicycles in any European city, but that was when Europe was virtually homogeneously White and Christian, and the level of social trust was extremely high.
Third World migrants come to Europe because they are “entitled” to instant social welfare benefits which await them. Not only are they entitled to these benefits, they feel they are entitled to anything else they can lay their hands on, like your bicycles, cars, women, and even children.
But the “progressive” residents of Belgium will “adjust” to this new “vibrancy” that these newcomers bring. Sure, they will have to arm themselves with weapons whenever they go out for a walk, but at least it won’t be boring like the old days when Belgium was “oppressive” and Christian.
We can see this “old Europe” in the 1948 Italian film, The Bicycle Thief, where a man is driven to steal a bicycle in order to get a job so that he can feed his child, but he is caught because, even despite the rampant poverty, everyone still protected each other’s property:
I’m French an living in Brussels. Four bikes have been stolen from me within the past 15 years. Sometimes in broad daylight in the centre. The forums where people share experiences of bike theft are frightening: bikes get stolen in houses, in basements… I’m freelance pay lots of taxes like all Belgian residents and basically it feels like some of the money that remains mine goes to thieves. It is like an extra tax.
N***er stole my bike.
So…because we are inundated with subhumans, WE need to have /pay for double locks, register [with the government] our private property and then attach tracking devices on them…which just so conveniently allows the ‘government’ to track us everywhere we go before our property is stolen, AND submit to gov’t spying on personal commercial transactions. And naturally, the cause is the expense of the bikes, never the thieves.
“What does the black kid get for Christmas? Your bicycle…”
Whenever I’ve seen a Black riding a bicycle, I automatically assume it’s stolen. And I’ve thought that since I was a kid. I must be a “racist”.
No wonder non-whites need drastic reminders such as public dismemberment to deter them from theft. Doesn’t mean the answer is the institution of Sharia Law…how about we send the perps back to the land they were so oppressed in. They can make all the changes in their own government to allow their animalistic behavior, like they’ve done here…
