9 Things You Should Never Leave Out in Your Yard

6. Bicycles

Over two million bicycles are stolen each year in the U.S. and Canada. Out of those, only 20 percent are ever reported to the police as stolen. So, if you do the math, a bike is stolen every 30 seconds. It only takes a couple of seconds for a “professional” thief to take off with an unlocked bike left in your yard.

Plus, a bike left out in an open area such as your backyard is more susceptible to damage from rain, hail, bird droppings, sun and more. Just protect your bicycle by keeping it locked in a sheltered area like your porch or safely inside your garage.
