I'm sure a lot of the data is proprietary -- they'd be nuts to release specific data about the claim payouts, for example. Plus a lot of the information probably is not available in a consistent format -- not every city reports bike theft data in the same way (or even at all). It's not scientific, but it's what we have.Fritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38894705.post-68636319890648685012007-06-15T16:59:00.000-04:002007-06-15T16:59:00.000-04:00bikerider - awareness is what we are aiming for here. <BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend filled with fabulous riding!Donna T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18438255125920496361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38894705.post-2814273648103749572007-06-15T16:42:00.000-04:002007-06-15T16:42:00.000-04:00Sooo.... is the list based on raw numbers, or per capita? Or something else?<BR/><BR/>I think it's great that Kryptonite are increasing awareness and all that, but statistics without context are pretty useless.bikeridernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38894705.post-11128777724811015642007-06-15T14:01:00.000-04:002007-06-15T14:01:00.000-04:00Hi gang - this seems to be a hot topic every year, which is good because we want people thinking security so their trusty ride is always there when they want it, not in the hands of some jerk thief. <BR/><BR/>The list is our own list - we do use some stats both from communities and from our own guarantee program. <BR/><BR/>There is some great info from the FBI every year that we use in our research, too. You can fide it at:<BR/>http://www.fbi.gov/research.htm<BR/>They actually break out bike theft in their crime stats. And, the long version of their stats lists numbers by state and, in the past, they used to do per capita, too. I'm not sure if that is still available or not. Check it out.Donna T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/18438255125920496361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38894705.post-56311943856471854682007-06-15T13:33:00.000-04:002007-06-15T13:33:00.000-04:00I have heard in the past the Philly was #1 per capita or per bike.
