自行車防竊警局貼心展開標碼服務

To prevent thefts and protect the residents' interests, the County Police Bureau, after branding(1) codes on motorcycles, as well as farming and fishing equipments and putting theft-preventing stamps on kaoliang liquor bottles, began in June a test run of bicycle sticker offering service. The sticker is a picture of Spirit Lion Statue with two invisible anti-theft barcode.(2) The data of each bicycle are also established as part of the effort to cut down(3) the rate of bicycle thefts. Bicycle owners interested in having the sticker can go to any police station to receive the service.
為防範轄區民生竊盜危害民眾權益，縣警局繼機車烙碼、酒商防竊戳章，及農漁牧機具烙碼等便民服務外，從6月起試辦自行車貼碼服務，搭配風獅爺雕像圖樣及二種隱形防竊標碼貼紙，及資料建檔等措施，讓自行車增加一份保障，減少失竊率，警局歡迎擁有自行車並有貼碼意願之車主逕往各警察分駐（派出）所接受這項標碼服務。

In response to government's urges for energy saving and CO2 emission(4) reduction, bicycle riding has become a popular leisure sport and many people even use bicycles as a daily means of transportation. On top of this, bicycles are becoming more and more refined, each producer releasing one after another new model. Buying and riding bicycles has turned into a fashion. The cost of a bicycle can range between a few thousands to several hundreds of thousands of NT dollars. The market is thriving(5) but it has also jacked up(6) theft rates that brought property losses to people.
近來為響應政府節能減碳措施，騎乘自行車成為大眾普遍的健康休閒運動，許多民眾更將其作為代步之交通工具，加上自行車走向精品化，各品牌不斷推陳出新，買車、騎車已蔚為一股風潮，一輛車之賣價從新台幣數千元至數十萬元皆有，不但造成市場搶購，更引起歹徒覬覦，失竊率也因而升高，造成民眾財產損失。

In light of this, the Criminal Investigation Division of the County Police Bureau initiated researches for measures to fight bicycle thefts. The sticker was decided because it would not hurt the appearance of a bicycle. The service is offered to bicycle owners willing to use the stickers. The sticker is so special that it cannot be recognized without the help of a special apparatus.(7) Since the owner's data are established, the anti-theft codes will provide the information of the owner even if a bicycle gets stolen.
有鑑於此，縣警局刑警大隊積極研擬自行車防竊作為，基於美觀、不破壞車身之原則，方才挑選貼紙為防竊手段。針對擁有自行車並有貼碼願意之車主執行防竊標碼服務，而最特別的是這個防竊編碼貼紙可以隱形，非使用特殊儀器無法看出。由於車主資料已建檔，就算車子被偷，也能輕鬆對照防竊編碼找出被害人，歸還愛車！

According to the County Police Criminal Investigation Division, starting in June, people can take their bicycles, along with their ID and proof of purchase, to any police station between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekends and national holidays to receive the service for free. Whether the bicycle has a manufacturer's number or not, owners are welcome to register their personal information to safeguard their bicycles.
縣警局刑警大隊指出，從6月起在各分局之分駐（派出）所試辦這項自行車貼碼服務，時間為每週六、日及國定假日之早上八時至下午六時，民眾只要騎著愛車、攜帶身分證件及自行車購買證明，即可享有免費之防竊標碼施作服務，自行車不論本身有無車身號碼，都歡迎車友前往登錄個人資料，以確保愛車安全！
