BIKE SHEPHERD IS MAINTAINED BY GOOGLE AND HAS QR CODE THAT YOU CAN SCAN WITH SMART PHONE.... http://www.bikeshepherd.org/ I give out the registration for free and the tags cost a small fee....
National Bike Registry is $10 for 10 years and is linked to police databases but may be siloed by bad data processing by police department...
I choose Bike Shepherd because the database is int he cloud and potential innocent buyers of stolen bikes can scan the sticker and see if the bike has been reported stolen.
