Prove it's Your Child's Bike

We just bought some new bikes for the kids. We put a picture of each child inside the handle bar grips before putting them on. If a bike is stolen and later recovered, you have proof it is your child's bike.

A photo inside the handle grips is a good idea to prove it's your child's bike if for example another child "stole" the bicycle and it turns up a block away. But I'd like to suggest that you also copy down the serial number of the bicycle and store it in a safe place. If the police become involved, they will ask for the serial number. Perhaps even take a photo of the serial number. This site shows you where to find the serial number: http://www.utexas.edu/parking/transportation/biking/find_serial.html
