Report Lost or Stolen

A u-lock style bike lock is used to secure a bike to a bike rack.

Bike Rack Closures

Select bike racks within Reunions sites will be temporarily closed for event setup and safety, starting on either May 9th or May 16th (location-dependent). Please refer to the signage at the racks or review the interactive map below for specific locations and dates.

All bikes must be removed by the posted date or will be confiscated. If you believe your bike was removed on the closure date, please complete a Confiscated Bike Inquiry form.

Report lost or stolen bike

Bike theft can happen on Princeton University's campus/ Please take extreme care and use a U-lock to secure your bike to designated racks whenever you leave it unattended.

If your bike has gone missing, please follow the following steps:

  1. Check if your bike was impounded by the University by completing a Confiscated Bike Inquiry. A device may be impounded if parked contrary to University parking policies or tagged as abandoned. 
     
  2. Report your bike as stolen through your Bike Index account to put out a community alert.
     
  3. File a report with Public Safety by calling 609.258.1000 or going to 200 Elm to make the report in person.
     
Did you know?

We recommend a U-Lock, a sturdy lock that requires power tools to cut, limiting opportunities for bike theft.  

U-locks can be purchased at any of the three bike shops located in Princeton as well as online.
