Stolen Bikes Forum - Read before Posting

If your bike is stolen, Please do not hesitate to put it in this forum. Provide as many details as you can, such as all the different parts on it, perhaps markings on the bike such as a big scratch in a certain place or stickers and stuff, and if you do have it recorded, the serial number on your bike.

A contact name and phone number would also be handy.

Hopefully through these means we can hunt down the theives that stole your precious bike and we can have our sweet revenge on them.

Cheers!

Another thing to do: print out a bunch of copies of the details of the bike and take it down to all the shops in your area, even some a bit further abroard. You'd be suprised how stupid some crooks are, they'll come in and try and sell/trade in a bike, and we can often tell it's hot, but without knowing for sure that someone's looking for it we can't do squat.

In this are we're really lucky though, one of the local police is also BMX and mtber (actually he's racing the BMX worlds this month) and he has an 80% stolen bike return rate, mainly because he tell exactly what he's looking for. Shame there aren't more of them.....

also check the cash trading places around where the bike was stolen, some theives are really that dumb!

Just a suggestion - putting the state, or even the city/town in the title would help - that way its easier for people to filter bikes which they most likely aren't going to be able to help out with..
