From the California State University, Sacramento Police Department: Bicycle Theft
Always lock your bicycle to a fixed metal rack in a designated bicycle parking area. A metal U-type lock is recommended. Take with you any parts that are quick-release and cannot be secured. Always record your serial number. It is a good idea to engrave your frame with your driver's license or identification card number. The department has an engraver and can loan it to you at the front counter.
In addition, it is recommended that you license your bicycle with the University Police Department so that the serial number and description is readily available just in case the bicycle is stolen. The Police Department is open 24 hours for bicycle registration.
By the way, the chances of recovering a stolen bicycle increase when a serial number has been entered into the California-wide stolen property data base. Minimize your losses ahead of time. Do not ride to campus on a high dollar bicycle.
