Announcing Mobile.stolenbicycleregistry.com!

I'm happy to announce that you can now run bike serial numbers on your cellphone at mobile.stolenbicycleregistry.com!

Just point your phone's browser to mobile.stolenbicycleregistry.com and enter your email address - and then enter the serial number of any bike in question.

If it's registered in the Stolenbicycleregistry.com database, all of the bike's pertinent information will be shown - model, year, color, city, date stolen, owner contact info, and description. A full copy of your search is then emailed to you, complete with links to the bike and any photos on file with
Stolenbicycleregistry.com.

Below are some videos that demonste how
Mobile.stolenbicycleregistry.com works - one's on a BlackBerry, and other other is on an old-school Cingular browser.

We're pretty excited about this one - it's one thing for us to maintain the database at stolenbicycleregistry.com, but once we've turned every single cellphone onto the process as well, we're pretty excited about what that can do. We anticipate many more stolen bike hits 'in the field'.

We look forward to some more amazing recoveries :) So far we've tested it out on a Blackberry World Edition, a Nokia E61, and a Motorola V180 - please drop us a line if you have comments!
