Psychological Approach....
....to Crime, seems to work well in this instance.

In an effort to reduce bicycle thefts Ncl Uni came up with the idea of fixing what appears to be 2 huge eyes on the walls above some bike parks, looking down on the bikes, together with a "we are watching you" notice,... but NO technical surveillance equipment was used at all.
As a result bike thefts in these areas have been reduced by well over 60%.
whilst in other areas thefts have continued to rise by well over 60%

Re: Psychological Approach....
We have had "video vigilancia" signs up all over the property for years - never had any kind of incident whatsoever - I can't specifically attribute it to that - because we have very little crime in this neighbourhood anyway.
