As use of the database grows we plan to roll out easily accessible interfaces for the likes of shops, second hand stores and SAPS to quickly query any serial number or make / model to identify stolen bikes - and find their owner. We're already regarded as a key platform to report stolen bikes (up until now just via the forum). With easy to use and effective search tools offered to these parties we can make the identification process more streamlined and hopefully, with time, help to tighten the net on bike thefts.
