Stolen Bike Registry?

[Darts]

Is anyone aware of a site that keeps tab of reported stolen bikes? I thought there is a site where you can key in a bike's serial number and it tells you if it has been reported stolen. I tried a search but got nothing that made sense.

Call the police station - ( they will tell you to check the website) they are the one's who supposedly kept track. I still don't know why they used SIN instead of drivers license.

Maybe because not all bicycle owners have driver’s license?

Buy an airtag and put it in a bike bell.

Contact the police station on Islington below the Queensway they keep alot of stolen inventory there.

Unless the police catch the gang with a group of undispersed stolen bikes, I would not hold much hope that you would get your bike back. The Air Tag bell mentioned above seems like a small investment for quality bike.

Actually, I'm thinking of buying a higher end bike second hand from private sellers.

I thought there is or was a site where I can key in the serial number and it would say if that bike has been reported stolen.

P.S. A friend warned me that a bike for sale on one of the social media sites could be stolen (the bike not the site). Also, I hear that Toronto is the bike theft capital of the world.

If you want to buy a used bike off Kijiji, for starters, get the seller's phone number. If they refuse to provide it, walk away. Next ask them for the serial number because you want to run it through the police database first. That should discourage anyone trying the to sell stolen bikes.

Met a random stranger a few years ago. He said he bought his bike at a police auction. Got a really good deal.

Heads up: I think he said the police asked for ID.

Don't go if there is a warrant for your arrest. It's a sting. LOL!
