Police say they're winning their war against bicycle thieves in the Mission district.

Theft reports have been down in the Mission, police Capt. Robert Moser said on the station's website Friday.

"In January we had 50 bicycles reported stolen in the Mission," Moser said. "In February it was 44.  As of March 22, we have had 19 reported stolen."

Police efforts not only include busting thieves but teaching locals about theft prevention. Aggressive  enforcement and community outreach efforts will continue, Moser said.
