Yup. I've been told they're doing that here in Ottawa as well. I've not seen any of those stickers, so maybe we don't have that aspect of the program. Obviously I've not seen the program in effect since I've never stolen a bike, but it's nice to see that the police are stepping up and giving some protection given the rise of cycle commuters this year.
