If your bike is stolen here in Tucson, here are steps to follow to give yourself a shot at getting it back.

1. File a police report!

2. List your bike as stolen using the form below. It works best if you have your serial number, so be sure to write it down when you get your bike. Some local shops will keep a record of the serial number for you. Check with the shop where you bought your bike to see if they have a record of it.

3. Print flyers about the stolen bike and take them to local bike shops and BICAS.

4. Check local pawn shops to see if your bike shows up there.

5. Watch the Phoenix and Tucson Craigslist postings. Many Tucson bikes are taken to Phoenix where it is easier to sell them without being caught.

6. Head to the Tanque Verde Swap Meet to check for your bike.
