Bike Thief Caught!

If only all thieves were this dumb.

Does anyone else have some sort of ID or distinctive marking on their bike in case it is ever stolen?

I am confused here.

1. Did the thief steal a stolen bike?

or

2. Was the bike thief stolen?

You went to all the trouble of revising your title and forgot to spell THIEF correctly.

Thanks Nick. Too much coffee.

Was it a cheese or sausage pizza?

It is what you eat in someone's home, that you have broken into, before you steal their bike and other possessions.

A common  trick is to put a business card in the bottom bracket shell - the least likely place for the average joe to look for ID, but one place a mechanic will find your ID.

I should do that like today to all my bikes.

Great job by Kozy's to immediately contact the Bike Lane to check with them. Most of these LBS look out for us more than we give them credit for.

The business card in the bottom bracket shell is a good idea. I've always had one tucked inside my bars. If I ever need to ID it in a pinch, a quick unwrap will show whose bike it is.

I'm going to slip business cards into all my frozen pizzas too!

Yeah, cause it's entirely too difficult and time-consuming to write down your serial number...
