Steal this bike strategy
Amsterdam police have thought of a new strategy which is best described by the words 'Steal this Bike'.
De Telegraaf writes that Amsterdam police are using a new entrapment strategy, with the goal of catching notorious bicycle thieves. "The bait will be placed at locations where many bicycles are stolen, and will be closely watched by police officers. Should the thief strike, he will be arrested immediately."
The strategy appears to be influenced by Abbie Hoffman’s hippy survival manual from the early 1970s 'Steal this Book' - which was not available in many bookstores and libraries because too many people followed the author's advice.
