2 Your Bike Details

These details are critical to capture with your registration.

You will be able to add more information later, but this is the most important information the community, universities and law enforcement will need to help you recover your bike if it is ever stolen.



It's usually on the bottom bracket. Get help finding your serial number...


529 Shield

Haven't heard of the 529 Shield? Click here to learn more...

Do not forget to add a shield to your bike frame. When a stolen bicycle is recovered by Long Beach PD, having a shield on the frame is very important because it allows PD to look up the ID number of the shield in nationwide data base and contact the owner. You can pick up a bike shield at one of our participating bike shops for free while supplies last.

3 Your Bike Photos

Photos recover bikes!

The majority of recovered bikes have photos in their registration. We've listed the most important ones but add as many as you can.


Side

A clear side profile makes your bike instantly recognizable if it's lost or stolen.

You and your bike

A photo of you with your bike helps prove it's yours if it's ever recovered.

Receipt

Police and finders often ask for proof of purchase before returning a recovered bike. This photo stays private.

What to look for

Scratches, stickers, or custom parts. Unique details make your bike easier to spot and return.

Tips

Use a cable lock for securing accessories and a highly rated U-Lock to secure your frame.

Secure your back wheel and frame with a highly rated U-lock to an approved bike rack.

How to Report a Bike Theft

If your bike has been stolen, it's important to report it to Long Beach Police Department in addition to marking it as stolen in the 529 Garage. The police report helps our community better understand the scope of the problem and will also be required to retrieve your bike when located.


1 Start an alert on your bike/scooter on the 529 Garage website or app.
