this is just something so that people don't have to open numerous stolen bike threads in order to try and help people in their own city, but could people please put the CITY and AREA and TYPE OF BIKE in the heading.
just an idea i had whil seeing if there were any stolen bikes in my area i could help people with

Brilliant idea!
I don't think area is a real big need for the title, as a quick train trip is all it takes to get from one end of a city to another. So a simple [Syd] [Mel] etc tag at the start of the title could work out well, not just for Stolen bikes, but also the Forsale area too.

Yes I had this idea regarding the stolen bikes section a while back, but I forgot it (Like all my other genius ideas...)

I think at least a city/town at the beginning of each stolen bike thread title, abbreviated for state capitals (ie. not abbreviations that wouldn't be very recogniseable). This should be compulsory. In fact, enforcing a strict convention for stolen bike thread titles would be worthwile I think.

As far as for sale threads go, I think it should be optional, but the idea should be out there.
