Step 1: Retrieve serial number Retrieve your bike's serial number from the owner's manual or from the shop where you bought the bike. Find a recent photo, too. Tip If your bike does not have a serial number, etch your I.D. or driver's license number somewhere on the bike. Step 2: File a police report Call and file a police report to create an official record of the stolen bike. Get copies of the paperwork. Tip Don't wait. The sooner you can get the word out, the better chance there is of recovering your property. Step 3: Pass out flyers Pass out flyers with the serial number and a picture of the bike in the area where it was stolen, including used bike stores and pawn shops. Step 4: Post online Post all the information about your stolen bike on social networking sites and tell friends and family members as soon as possible. Step 5: Monitor internet and garage sales Monitor online auction sites as well as garage sales in the area. If you see your bike, call the police immediately. Did You Know?
