Within city limits aren't you legally required to register your bike? Maybe they were just considering it? I remember a thread on here where it was discussed, thought someone posted that you are required to register, but don;t quote me.
You can register online here. If a stolen or abandoned bike is recovered by the police, they will check it against the registry. If it's registered, they'll contact the owner. If it's not, it goes to the warehouse for the quarterly auctions. Registration is painless. Everyone should take the 2 minutes it takes.
Thanks, didn't see Kevin's response when I last posted - I think we were posting at the same time.
I guess the whole "system" rides on the premise, "If a stolen or abandoned bike is recovered by the police." Do we have any evidence that that happens here in Chicago and that the police follow through as you suggest?
If the system works (in practice and not just "in theory"), there would be good reason to register. Otherwise, I can see why people wouldn't bother.

I'm with Amy. I'd like to see some "insider" info that thereactually is some sort of functional system in place. Anyone here know anyone who works for CPD?
I tried to use it - there log in didn't work. Not exactly 2 minutes either...
