Last night, I woke up in alarm because I had a dream about my bikes being
stolen from my house. I have been thinking this over---do you suppose it was
my subconscious telling me to write down all of the serial numbers and take
photos of the bikes? I guess it's not enough to tell the police officer that
mine is the silver one if I don't have any other proof.....
What do other people do to have proof of ownership?

I have serial numbers of *most* of my frames, and I have pictures of all
the built up bikes.
Recently I just picked up a pack of business cards cheap (250 for $1).
I think I'll start sticking them in the seat tubes, handlebars, head
tubes and bottom of saddles as opportunity presents itself.

One thing you could do is to snap a redundant little
padlock onto a saddle rail. If it could be tucked
discretely out of sight, so much the better. Because
only /you/ will know it's there, and only you will
have the key to unlock it.
cheers,

I have a list of the serial numbers of everything I own that has a
serial number. (Note to self: print it out in case they swipe the
computer too.)
And I got one of those kewl little engraving pens and carved my driver
license number in a couple of places on each bike and my trailer.

I can relate to the dream. I've had nights in the past where I forgot
to bring the bike in from the car, and decided to leave it overnight
when I remembered after dinner. This usually results in a couple
hours of tossing and turning, followed by my bringing the bike inside
in the middle of the night.
Thanks for the reminder to update the bike folder. I've got the
serial # of my 2 favorites (and oldest) but I've yet to do anything
regarding the newer two. I'll have to update the serial # list & take
some digital photos as well. On my more expensive bike I've got a
written list of components as well. I'm not sure that this would make
any difference in the event of a theft, but I figured it can't hurt.
Aside from that, I'm not sure what you can do. I'm tempted to
specifically inform my home owners insurance, but I'd have no way to
verify value.

How do you feel about your mother? Do you have feelings towards the
same sex? What are you ashamed of?

Yes, and sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. ;-)

That's a good idea, but I don't think that's what this dream is really
about.
What do your bikes mean to you? Freedom? Independence? The ability to
get somewhere in your life? This is what you're afraid of being taken
from you.
Warm Regards,
Claire

I had a similar dream from which I deliberately woke myself because
it was unpleasant and I wanted to be sure it was a dream.
My bikes are digitally documented. Some pics don't show the more
recent upgrades but the colours are right.
The serial numbers are recorded in a couple different places but I
doubt I'd be able to produce receipts for more than maybe two frames
and a whole bunch of parts.

If it takes a dream to get you to write down the serial numbers of your
bikes, then that's great. Do it. My older bikes only have 4 or 5-digit
numbers; I actually still know them both by heart. My Habanero has a
big-ol long serial number, possibly because there have been millions of
'em sold (right, k?). But I do have it written down. Pictures are
also good to have. Updated ones would be better (note to self).

I take digital photos of everything for proof of ownership in case I need to
prove it to an insurance company. Offsite storage is a good idea.
