Los Angeles becoming a new hot bed of bicycle thefts, according to the Los Angles Times:

By Richard Winton

February 12, 2010

Although crime is dropping in Los Angeles, there is one glaring exception: bicycle thefts, which rose 29% last year.

Nearly 2,000 bikes were reported stolen last year -- and authorities believe the actual number of thefts was much higher because so many people don't report stolen bikes.

Los Angeles Police Department detectives believe the increase is due in part to more people using bikes to get around in some neighborhoods.

A Times analysis of LAPD data found the USC campus area, Venice, parts of Hollywood and downtown L.A. to be hot spots for bike thefts.
