Stolen Bike Registry - do this when your bike gets stolen
"With all the stolen bike posts lately (and no one thinking "I wonder if there's something under Useful Links for this."), I think it's well past time to make a sticky about the Stolen Bike Registry"
- Tank-Ridin' Ryan
Well said Ryan.

I thought it might mean that the sign was gone, but decided to just leave it alone.

Last I checked women are not property -thus can't be "stolen." At least that is how it is here in the civilized western world.

that's not a bad idea if you can get to it. H' gave me great advice when I recovered mine. anyone can message me and I'll walk them through what I did.

So just now I saw a couple people obviously casing some bikes locked up at racks/signposts near my house, acting very nervous. They didn't make any moves to steal any one of them, though, and left. I got a picture of two of them, just in case any bikes go missing here in the next day or two. Besides keeping a lookout generally, any other duties I have in this situation as a citizen of the bicycling community?

Hmm, go to a CAPS meeting. Aside from making this report, you could get a feel from the local beat officers on how much they care about bike theft.
