Here's how it works...

1. Your bike gets stolen. Oh no!

2. You file a theft report, and let us know about your stolen bike.

3. We receive your report. After reviewing it, we will post it on the main page. We mainly review reports to weed out spam and make minor editorial corrections to formatting.

4. Your theft report, including your bike's photo, last known location, and date of theft, are posted on our site. Your report also goes into our automatically compiled statitics and is shown on our report map. And, if you're lucky, someone might see your bike and contact you directly and return your bike.

The old Stolen Bike Registry is still available. We're moving old listings into the new system as we get time to do it.

Important: See Mr Bike's tips on IDing your bike before it gets stolen!
