This sounds great! But what is physically stopping the thief to just remove the sticker? Is it commonly known that a bike without a sticker is not trustworthy?

Even then, just tear of the sticker and request a new one?

From https://mybike.belgium.be/:

De sticker is bijzonder moeilijk te verwijderen en UV- en weersbestendig.

Il est particulièrement résistant à l’arrachage, aux UV et aux intempéries.

So I'm guessing the best protection is parking your bike with a sticker next to bikes without one.

This is only useful in the unlikely event that the stolen bike turns up somewhere. Just like engraving, it won’t prevent a single theft. Better to buy an airtag and two decent locks.

I remember that a long time ago here they tried something like this with engraving your postcode and number in the frame.. didnt stop shit.
