IRVINE, CA — The Irvine Police Department is calling on residents to register their bikes as it faces a growing stockpile of recovered stolen bicycles in its evidence room. "We have so many recovered bikes in our property and evidence lockers but have no way of identifying their owners to return them," Irvine police posted on Facebook. Cyclists can register their bikes with the online database 529 Garage, which started in 2013 as a way to reduce thefts and return stolen bicycles to their owners, the department said. "Our goal is to register as many bikes as possible in order to protect your property and return more bikes back to their owners if lost or stolen," Irvine police said. For more information and to register a bicycle, visit the 529 Garage website.
