Boston: Twitter and Facebook Bicycle Thieves Hunt Down

Another creative way to bring the power of social media into play – Boston is launching its bicycle thieves hunt down via Twitter and Facebook.

This campaign is built to alert the Boston community whenever a bicycle is missing or found; a great example of how social media could help reduce crime rates!

Twitter and Facebook have proven to be great communities where help is often extended to those who need it. It definitely makes the bicycle thief think twice before acting on his foolishness.
