Another resource that can help ID a stolen bike is the bike-porn site <a href="http://velospace.org/";>velospace</a>. There's a field in the bike listings which allows you to post your serial number (in addition to photos, component lists and notes). Since the serial number is only visible to the user who posted the bike in the first place, it's a way of documenting your connection to the bike itself, since you have to log into the creating account to see the number. It's much like sticking a card with your driver's license number into the seat tube.
