The Community Policing Unit of Store Street Garda Station is hosting FREE property/bike marking events in conjunction with the Pop-Up Garda Station at National College of Ireland on several dates throughout January to March 2026. 

Most Garda stations in Dublin have hundreds of unclaimed bikes in storage. Marking your property only takes a few minutes. This not only deters thieves from taking your bike (because it can be identified as stolen), but also ensures that, if it is recovered, it can be returned to you by the Gardai.  

How it works: The mark that is made on your piece of property is a physical mark which is etched into the item. It is very difficult to remove and can be repeated a number of times on the one item. The mark is made by a specially designed machine which embosses the property item with small dots in the pattern of your Eircode. If this is something that you are interested in doing, it could not be easier than coming along to one of the Pop-Up Garda Stations.

Please note the following dates: 

• 29th January – 11am – 2pm at NCI’s Mayor Square 
• 12th February – 11am – 2pm at NCI’s Mayor Square 
• 26th February – 11am – 2pm at NCI’s Mayor Square 
• 12th March – 11am – 2pm at NCI’s Mayor Square 
• 26th March – 11am – 2pm at NCI’s Mayor Square
