Checking a bicycle kept in the hall
Checking a bicycle kept in the hall costs ten minutes now, or a fortnight later.
A bicycle in a hall is the thing most often taken out of a home and the thing least often written down before it goes.
Photograph the frame number under the bottom bracket, and the whole bicycle in a second picture. The pair identifies it years later.

Worth doing
- Photograph the whole bicycle and the frame number on the same day.
- Keep the purchase receipt with the photographs, not in a different drawer.
- Use a lock indoors as well, and note what kind it is.
- Take the photographs again after a repair that changes how it looks.
