Stolen bike recovery network

I saw an ad for a reward being offered on craig's list in Tucson (in the bikes for sale section) a stolen green cruiser with ape hangers this past weekend stolen from a home on the northwest side of town. Is there a need for a dedicated section for lost/stolen bikes? It has a motor and tank.

Anyway, is it feasible to have a stolen bike list on this site?

LOLOLOL! Yes he is an odd duck and a member of the Freakbike Militia as am I (Great Lakes chapter). And yes that picture was taken at Burning Man last year. His name is Alan and he goes by the name Greenblazer, that was his first kustom build, a kustom Stingray with an electric motor. He's really a great guy if you can get past the leatard

I think that is a wonderful idea

I have had 4 bikes stolen and it's something I hope never happens to us! Take a picture of you bike (s) and write the serial numbers down. The best lock will NOT stop a thief if they want the bike. I keep my bike inside my home at all times. At ALL TIMES! It takes less than 30 seconds to cut a chain or lock.

Never "run' in the store and not lock your bike. It's a pain but you can go to your local Police and they will take a picture and register your pride and joy. It cost me 3.00
If it's gone over 24 hours it's gone
