Multiple bikes were stolen off porches this week. Two were E-bikes. If you must store your bike outside on your porch or in your backyard, use multiple locks. Solid steel U-locks are the most secure. If you're using a flexible lock, ensure it's 3/8 inch in diameter to make it harder to cut. Consider putting an air tag on your bike in case someone successfully defeats your locks. Pictures and serial numbers help officers return the bike to you if recovered. Quick reporting increases the chances of recovering it.
