If Have Possibly Stolen Bike__What Next?

[Steven Kung]

If I think I have a stolen bike in my possession from a police auction, and would like to return it to the rightful owner, but its serial # is not listed on BikePortland.org or other Stolen Bike Lists, can BikePortland.org help me post a notice to the public?

Where would it best to post info about this bike?

Post a generic message on BP, BikeForums.net, and craigslist. The Valley Times offers free "found" listings in their newspaper. List the make and color of the bike, possibly a photo. Let the owner provide you (via a free "throwaway" email account)* with the serial number to prove it's theirs.

Now if it's a red Centurion Accordo ca. 1987, I'd like it back...

*Once it's found, you can toss the account and not have to worry about wading through a tonne of spam in your primary account.

*sniff sniff* Did someone find my partner's red Centurion Accordo singlespeed semi-conversion? or strange coincidence?

Unless they were in possession of stolen property. Mine was purchased new by my Mom and Stepfather as a Christmas gift for me. Our neighbor owned the bike shop (Ashland Cycle Sport). The bike disappeared from behind my apartment in Klamath Falls back in 1993

Darn. Well, there's also an accordo-sized hole in my life thanks to some lousy bike thief.
