MESA COUNTY, Colo -- Each year, the Mesa County Sheriff's Office recovers over a hundred bikes that never make it back to their owner.The problem is most of the bikes found aren't registered and the person who lost the bike didn't keep proof of ownership, like a receipt from when it was purchased or the bike's serial number.
On average the Mesa County Sheriff's Office finds between 100-140 lost or stolen bikes a year. Typically only one or two of those will be returned to their owners.
Right now over a dozen bikes sit unclaimed. This could easily be prevented if you register your bike!
