With their convenience, speed, and eco-friendliness, electric vehicles are increasingly favored by people. Their main valuable part is the battery, and because the anti-theft measures for e-bike batteries are incomplete, some idlers seize the chance and make a living stealing batteries. When a battery is stolen, the first thing many people think of is calling the police, hoping to recover their loss. But if the loss is only about 500 yuan, the police usually will not open a case. So what should we do then?

1. Look for clues nearby. Strictly speaking, the theft of an e-bike battery is a public-security case, and the standard for opening one differs from place to place. First, you had better check whether there are surveillance cameras or the like around, and find usable clues. Without clues, the police will merely advise you to be careful next time when you report it and will not go out to handle it.

2. Report the case. After gathering clues, you can report the case and hand the evidence you have collected over to the police.

3. Buy a new battery. If the battery cannot be recovered, you can buy a new one first. If the stolen one is later recovered, you can exchange or sell it to reduce the loss.

So when parking your e-bike in daily life, try to park it in a crowded place, and at night you can park it in an indoor garage or a relatively safe place.
