New Tool to Help Reunite Stolen Bikes With Their Owners

This oughta keep it safe.
The City of Spokane is launching free bike registration to help return stolen bicycles to their owners.

Bicycle owners can register their bike at SpokaneBikeID.org (or by accessing the tool via their My Spokane account at Spokanecity.org). Owners are asked to enter contact information and the serial number and description of the bicycle, and can also upload a picture of it. For those without computer or Internet access, bikes can also be registered at neighborhood Spokane C.O.P.S. shops.

Police recover many bikes each year, but getting them back to their owners is often difficult. The citywide bike registration database will help police reunite stolen bikes with their rightful owners. The My Spokane staff will manage the SpokaneBikeID tool in partnership with the Spokane Police Department.
