Stolen Bike Registry - do this when your bike gets stolen

"With all the stolen bike posts lately (and no one thinking "I wonder if there's something under Useful Links for this."), I think it's well past time to make a sticky about the Stolen Bike Registry"

- Tank-Ridin' Ryan

Well said Ryan.

Done and done.

And sticky too.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the group. My Trek 8.4 DS was stolen yesterday right off of Wacker Drive (211 West Wacker). Security camera in my office building caught the guy, he was hanging in the building lobby for a good 15 minutes before walking to the bike like it was his, used a small saw and cut the U-Lock off.

This guy was pretty heft, had a polo and pants on and a messenger style bag. Looks like he works in the area.

Are there any solid GPS tags that one can use, such "Find my iPhone" but for bikes? Also, theft-deterrents like skunklock?

I hope this guy who stole my bike falls in traffic.
