Can NBR labels be removed?
The National Bike Registry has developed the best and most durable labels available anywhere in the world, yet they can be removed by determined criminals. However, it does require time and tools to remove the labels. Destruction of the label itself is also a crime in many states and countries and it confirms suspicion that the item was stolen. At that point, it would be better for the “finder” to return the property with the chance of garnering a reward. Even without its label, a recovered bike can be identified by its serial number or physical description and as long as it’s registered, it can be returned.
