We have so many members on XLF that are always looking in Craig's List or eBay for parts. If they could just keep in mind what some of the parts on these stolen bikes look like, they could contact the owner (not the seller or eBay) to have them attempt to verify that the part may belong to them. The only reason I mention not contacting eBay or the seller is because it may spook the person into removing the auction or ad making it more difficult to locate them. The owner could then contact his local PD about the possible stolen part being on eBay or Craig's List.

Just a thought to hopefully get some of these parts returned to the rightful owner.

Another thing that may help is adding a subscription to the Stolen Bike Forum (http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=288), so that when someone posts a thread about a stolen bike you will be alerted to it faster. This will reduce the chance of missing the thread during your normal forum activities.
