Stolen Cargo Bike Recovered in Copenhagen Thanks to GPS Tracker

Tue, Aug 20, 2024 Submitted by: Victoria Popescu Asset tracking,  Security

In the early hours of a Monday morning, a Copenhagen family's routine was disrupted when they discovered their electric cargo bike had been stolen. The bike -a Black iron Horse- was leased through JOOLL, and played a vital role in their day-to-day life, used for transporting their son to kindergarten. Though parked among several other cargo bikes, their was the only one taken. Likely a target for its higher value and newer condition. 

It's a Bird? It's a Plane? No, it's Gemstone Bike Tracker

Thankfully, the cargo bike was fitted with a Gemstone Bike GPS tracker from Copenhagen Trackers. Immediately after discovering the theft, the family opened the Copenhagen Trackers app, where the location of their stolen bike was clearly visible. It just so happened that it was parked a few kilometres away, near a quiet residential street. 

A Quick Police Call Later..

The family quickly alerted the police and made their way to the GPS location. They found their stolen cargo bike, locked together with another bike that had been stolen. Both were missing their wheel- and chain locks. Maybe this was the gathering spot for the thieves while they were out collecting more?

Business-Customer Love

Thanks to the bike tracker's accurate positioning and a swift response from the authorities, the family successfully recovered their stolen e-bike. Maybe you'll be happy to hear that the second bike was also returned to its rightful owner. 

"Copenhagen Trackers actually helped us get our bike back" the family shared. "Without it, there would be no way to ever find it. Thanks for a great product and service!"

And so ends a real-life story of how we were able to help this family get their precious property back, something we're immensely proud of. Tragically, this story also highlights the current and lasting risk for bike theft, and its continued rise in urban areas. But happily, a discreet and powerful GPS bike tracker can make all the difference. 

Copenhagen Trackers will continue to help and protect the good citizens of the biking community, offering a long battery life and theft-resistant tracking solution designed for bikes and e-bikes.
