Sorry to hear about your bikes. My partner had his mtn bike stolen last year, we called the police but they would not take any information because he did not have the serial no. We did not have pictures of the bike. We were advised not to claim it on our homeowners because we already had 2 claims, one on the house and 1 on a car. Neither claim was our fault but it was still on our records.

Now we keep bikes we are not using locked to the racks in the garage or store them in our basement. All bikes go in the basement in the winter and are locked. I have the serial nos. stored on the computer and carry them on my person when I ride. I have pictures of my bikes and my insurance co. has the invoice of my Serotta which details all components and cost.

Interestingly enough, a Specialized Rock Hopper mtn bike turned up in our yard a couple of weeks ago. No one claimed it so we turned it into the Lakewood Police. If it doesn't get claimed within 90 days we have claimer's rights. I called local bike shops but no one had reported their bike missing.

Good luck on finding your bikes. I heard that the thieves scrape the serial nos. off and sell the bikes in Denver.
