POLICE BLOTTER

Four bikes with an estimated total value of $1150 were stolen from the Harvard campus during the past week, Harvard University Police reported yesterday.

An unidentified person stole a silver ten-speed Motobeeane touring bike from in front of the Indoor Track and Tennis building between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. this past Tuesday. Although the bike was locked with a Kryptonite lock, the owner had not secured it to anything. Police estimated the value of the bike at $700. There are no suspects in the case.

A man's 12-speed Univega Viva Sport bike was taken after being left unattended and unsecured by its owner on the east side of Memorial Hall last Saturday, April 13. Estimated value of the bike is $150.

An unidentified person removed a blue 12-speed Fuji Supreme bike from the post to which it was chained in the basement of 17 Everett Street between 10 p.m. last Saturday and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police estimated the value of the bike at $250.

On Monday, April 15, between 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m, someone stole a ten speed Free Sport bike. The thief had apparently cut the chain which had secured the bike. The bike's estimated value is $50.

Police yesterday advised bike owners to buy and use bike locks. "When you're paying seven or eight hundred dollars for a bike, it doesn't hurt to invest $25 in a lock," said Don C. Nagel, a police official who statistically analyses crimes reported to the department. Nagel said that if people simply took the time to lock up their bikes, bike theft would not be such a problem.
