How it Aids in Post-Theft Recovery (Indirect Protection):

• Increased Chance of Return: If your bike is stolen and then abandoned or found by a member of the public or law enforcement, the QR code can be scanned.
   
• Direct Contact with Owner: Upon scanning, the finder can directly contact you (the owner) through a masked call, protecting both parties' privacy. Your actual phone number is not revealed.
   
• Location Sharing: The scanner can share the current location of the bike with you, making it easier to recover.
   
• Photo/Video Evidence: The person who finds your bike can also send you a photo or video of its location and condition.

How it Acts as a Deterrent (Indirect Protection):

• Visible Identification: The presence of a NekInsan QR code sticker might act as a slight deterrent to some thieves. They might be less inclined to steal a bike that is easily identifiable and traceable.
   
• Awareness of Tracking: Thieves who are aware of such tracking methods might avoid bikes with these stickers to reduce the risk of getting caught.

Important Considerations:

• It's Not a Locking Mechanism: The QR code sticker is not a physical security device like a lock or alarm. It will not physically prevent someone from stealing your bike.
   
• Reliance on Others: Its effectiveness in theft recovery depends on someone finding your bike and taking the initiative to scan the QR code.
   
• Data Privacy: NekInsan emphasizes data privacy, ensuring your personal contact information is not directly exposed when the QR code is scanned.

In summary, the NekInsan QR Code Sticker for Bike Safety doesn't directly protect your bike from being stolen. Instead, it significantly increases the chances of recovery after a theft by providing a simple and direct way for finders to contact the owner and share the bike's location. 

It can also act as a minor deterrent due to the increased traceability of the bike.

To truly protect your bike from theft, you should still rely on strong physical locks and other security measures. The NekInsan sticker serves as an additional layer of safety and a valuable tool for recovery.
