I have excellent write-only memory (WOM).  I record everything.  But when I need the information I can't ever find it.  I too would be unable to find my serial number if I had to produce it. 

So, I took pictures of my bike including the serial number.  I emailed these photos into my GMail account and in the body of the message put a description of the bike with the serial number.  I tagged the email and now if I ever need it I'll know exactly where to find it. 

I hope this tip helps someone.

It was stolen from in front of the UT School of Nursing, on Red River at MLK.

It's just starting out but I'm trying to create a persistent location for people to log stolen bike notices, in hopes that other community members happen to see them and can get in touch with the owners. It's worth a shot.

Where in town was it stolen?  Do you have a photo and/or the serial number?

May you be too stupid to realize it's got commuter tires on it, take it out on a trail, and endo;

May your fully-loaded panniers fall off the rear black cargo rack;

May your hand slip while trying to use the Pedro's bottle opener where the water cage should be, so that your brew spills and you cut yourself;

May your feet slip off the yellow ATAC clipless pedals, causing you to slip and bruise your nads on the top tube;

May the severed end of the lock fly up and hit you in the eye; and

May you have the same trouble we've been having lately getting it to shift to the largest chain ring.

And to everybody else:  If you see a bike around town fitting this description, would you please do whatever you can to help me get it back?

Aggravated to have to resort to my car,
