I'm impressed by your transition from the blog post to doing this site, and hopeful that a site like this one will finally take hold. Good luck!

I don't understand what they are actually doing to prevent the sale of stolen bikes through their site? I don't see anything on the bike listing or stolen bike search pages that would help with this.

Primarily community driven to raise red flags about stolen bikes. That said, it's pretty easy to look at an advertisement for a bike and know if the seller actually knows anything about it.

2 ideas: 1. stolen bike finder button should stand out a bit more. maybe in red (btn-danger) 2. Dont have a stolen bike but is there a way to flag listings so that other browsers know they are browsing a stolen bike. Might auth with a social network and require a couple friends to flag it as well (so individuals dont do it maliciously). But would massively improve your data and would help the community self police.
