Thieves target park ‘n’ ride Recent thefts from the Silverdale park ‘n’ ride have highlighted the vulnerability of vehicles and bikes that are left there. Auckland Transport (AT) monitors the carpark and bike area with CCTV. In March, a university student returned to find his licence plates gone, and, adding insult to injury, a $200 fine on his windscreen for having no plates. Last month, AT advised him that he did not have to pay this fine. A local cyclist, who secured his mountain bike with two chain locks, had it stolen from the park ‘n’ ride last month. He says AT’s CCTV footage showed people riding off with his bike, and another one.
