Stolen Bike

What is the stolen bike feature?

If one of your motorcycles is stolen, you can report it as stolen so that other riders can help watch for it. An active report shows your bike's last-known location on the map for nearby riders, along with the details you provide, so the community can keep an eye out.

This is not a vehicle-recovery service and does not contact the police. If your bike is stolen, report it to the police. The app cannot guarantee that anyone will see your report or that your bike will be recovered. See our Disclaimer.

Who can report a bike as stolen?

Reporting a bike as stolen is a paid feature, available to Supporter and Verified members. You report a bike from your garage, so you first need to have added the bike there.

You can have up to 3 active reports as a Supporter and up to 10 as a Verified member, and a bike can have only one active report at a time. If you are not yet a member, you can upgrade in Settings under Membership.

What information do I provide in a report?

A report uses your bike's details from your garage (make, model, year and colour) and its last-known location. You can also add an optional registration plate, VIN, photo, and a short message with anything that might help — for example where and when it was taken.

Because an active report is shown to other riders on the map, only include information you are comfortable sharing publicly while the report is active.

How long does a report stay active?

You choose how long a report lasts when you create it: 1, 3 or 7 days (7 days is the maximum). When it expires, the report is removed from the map automatically. You can also mark the bike as recovered or cancel the report at any time before it expires.

Where do other riders see my report?

While a report is active, it appears as a marker on the map at the bike's last-known location for nearby riders, along with the details you added. If a rider spots your bike, they can contact you through the app. When the report expires, is cancelled, or is marked recovered, the marker is removed from the map.

How do I mark my bike as recovered or cancel a report?

Open the stolen bike register from the Extras menu, select your report, and choose Mark as recovered or Cancel report. Either action removes the marker from the map straight away.

Is my stolen bike report private?

Only while a report is active, it is deliberately visible to other riders on the map so they can help — this is the point of the feature. It includes the details you added and your display name. It is not used for advertising, and it is removed when it expires, is cancelled, or is marked recovered. For more, see our Privacy Policy.
