Website Idea: Stolen Bikes

I've had an idea for a website, not sure if its a good or bad
idea...comments please....

Basically a website to list stolen bikes, of all types (the pedal variety of
course). The site could contain pictures, information about the bike.
People could offer rewards for information or return of the bike etc. The
idea would work I think, but essentially it would require lots of bikes to
be stolen to become popular enough to get people checking it before they buy
a second hand bike. I've not done any checking, perhaps a site already
exists for this.

I know it would be a drop in the ocean, but it is possible that you could
tag your bike with a sticker, with the URL on it....I'm sure you get the
idea, like a certificate almost.

Any ideas/comments anyone?


Just a thought.

Cheers,
Tom
