| write down your serial numbers on the back of a photo of your bike i have gone so far as to engrave the serial number onto the rims, cranks, hubs stem, bars and seat post this activity has lead to the memorization of 1296998 also record the make, model, color and any other distinctive aspects to your bicycle. the police in los angeles are reticent to take a report they don't understand that bicycles are life lines for many. they also do not know the value of bicycles. in california a theft of more than $400 is a felony so add the value of your bicycle to the photo. if you have a receipt affix a copy of that as well. i have lost 7 bikes to theft and recovered 3, one by the police! jim --- On Wed, 12/9/09, Mark Rehder <mark@re-cycles.ca> wrote:
