Police are still catching up with this new trend, according to the newspaper. The most recent innovation in dealing with bicycle thieves has been the use of undercover GPS bikes to trap thieves.
With this method, the police simply follow the thief via GPS as they ride their stolen bicycle home.
As of August 2013, police had made more than 100 arrests through GPS bikes in Amsterdam West alone.
It sounds like they already have the solution. BAIT BIKES!
