The walk-in costume closet organized with options for every SF dress-up occasion from Burning Man to Bay to Breakers, the desensitization to the sight of the naked body at the Folsom Street Fair, the medical marijuana card procurement appointment and the constant battle with parking enforcement in San Francisco all get their moments in the spotlight in the 12 episode series (the first seven episodes are \u003ca href=\"http://sanfranlandseries.com\">available\u003c/a> right now).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show, created by Ryan Lynch, is centered on the exploits of three roommates.

I don’t mean breaking and entering or snooping through bathroom cabinets, but, as someone’s guest, taking in my surroundings with the same eager curiosity I’d usually reserve for museums, piecing together a story from books, photos, plants and knick knacks on display. Part of that inclination comes from all the mystery stories I read as a kid. Using keen skills of observation and knowledge of human nature, detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Jane Marple solved the most bewildering of crimes, and still managed to have time for tea. What’s not to admire?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same appreciation for a good mystery has also contributed to my long standing fondness for puzzles, the latest obsession being \"room escape” computer games. Requiring a shorter commitment than many other point-and-click adventure games, room escape games have a very simple premise: you find yourself in a locked room or house and must search your environment for clues and solve puzzles to aide in your escape. Most often, the games are fairly simplistic in design, yet the puzzles are anything but. You may have to decipher a code, repeat a melody you just heard, or jury-rig a tool that would make MacGyver proud. If you crack the puzzles, you will find the key that will unlock the door and set you free, often with some beautiful garden or beach paradise awaiting behind the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12834\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/Myst-library_and_ship.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-12834\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/Myst-library_and_ship-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot from the game Myst (Cyan, 1993) (Image via Wikipedia)\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from \u003ci>Myst\u003c/i> (Cyan, 1993) (Image: \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myst\">Wikipedia\u003c/a>)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While the Flash game room escape genre was popularized in the mid-2000s, most everyone I know who really enjoys these types of games can trace their fondness back to the \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/features/looking-back-game-myst-20th-anniversary/\" target=\"_blank\">1993 PC game \u003c/a>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/features/looking-back-game-myst-20th-anniversary/\" target=\"_blank\">Myst.\u003c/a> \u003c/em>A beautiful game unlike anything being released at the time, it presented no monsters to kill and the player could take as long as they wanted to explore the island and solve puzzles. There is an appeal in a game that's stimulating, but also free of the competitive stress of player-vs-player environments, or the fast-paced action of first person shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to find ourselves overwhelmed in a fast paced world brimming with information and daily stresses. Although escaping \u003ca href=\"http://www.thenewstribune.com/2014/05/18/3199963/desperately-seeking-silence-quest.html\" target=\"_blank\">somewhere quiet and peaceful\u003c/a>, and preferably in nature, is certainly one of the better ways to decompress, it's not always an option. If you're like me, a good way to unwind from the stimulation of a busy day is by focusing the mind on a calming task, kind of like going for a jog can be a great way to prepare your body for a better night's sleep. Room escape games, which often have well decorated environments and peaceful music on a loop, fulfill that need perfectly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12943\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 360px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-12943 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/room-escape-360x269.jpg\" alt=\"room-escape\" width=\"360\" height=\"269\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from \u003ca href=\"http://lonyans.yukishigure.com/escapegame_110610.html\">LoNyan's Room Escape No. 11\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wanting to quantify the beneficial aspects of casual games, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33064/Study_Finds_Casual_Games_Reduce_Depression..\" target=\"_blank\">PopCap Games underwrote a study\u003c/a> in 2011 in which a group of participants - all diagnosed with clinical depression - played casual games over the course of a month.

I don’t mean breaking and entering or snooping through bathroom cabinets, but, as someone’s guest, taking in my surroundings with the same eager curiosity I’d usually reserve for museums, piecing together a story from books, photos, plants and knick knacks on display. Part of that inclination comes from all the mystery stories I read as a kid. Using keen skills of observation and knowledge of human nature, detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Jane Marple solved the most bewildering of crimes, and still managed to have time for tea. What’s not to admire?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same appreciation for a good mystery has also contributed to my long standing fondness for puzzles, the latest obsession being \"room escape” computer games. Requiring a shorter commitment than many other point-and-click adventure games, room escape games have a very simple premise: you find yourself in a locked room or house and must search your environment for clues and solve puzzles to aide in your escape. Most often, the games are fairly simplistic in design, yet the puzzles are anything but. You may have to decipher a code, repeat a melody you just heard, or jury-rig a tool that would make MacGyver proud. If you crack the puzzles, you will find the key that will unlock the door and set you free, often with some beautiful garden or beach paradise awaiting behind the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12834\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/Myst-library_and_ship.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-12834\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/Myst-library_and_ship-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot from the game Myst (Cyan, 1993) (Image via Wikipedia)\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from \u003ci>Myst\u003c/i> (Cyan, 1993) (Image: \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myst\">Wikipedia\u003c/a>)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While the Flash game room escape genre was popularized in the mid-2000s, most everyone I know who really enjoys these types of games can trace their fondness back to the \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/features/looking-back-game-myst-20th-anniversary/\" target=\"_blank\">1993 PC game \u003c/a>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/features/looking-back-game-myst-20th-anniversary/\" target=\"_blank\">Myst.\u003c/a> \u003c/em>A beautiful game unlike anything being released at the time, it presented no monsters to kill and the player could take as long as they wanted to explore the island and solve puzzles. There is an appeal in a game that's stimulating, but also free of the competitive stress of player-vs-player environments, or the fast-paced action of first person shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to find ourselves overwhelmed in a fast paced world brimming with information and daily stresses. Although escaping \u003ca href=\"http://www.thenewstribune.com/2014/05/18/3199963/desperately-seeking-silence-quest.html\" target=\"_blank\">somewhere quiet and peaceful\u003c/a>, and preferably in nature, is certainly one of the better ways to decompress, it's not always an option. If you're like me, a good way to unwind from the stimulation of a busy day is by focusing the mind on a calming task, kind of like going for a jog can be a great way to prepare your body for a better night's sleep. Room escape games, which often have well decorated environments and peaceful music on a loop, fulfill that need perfectly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12943\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 360px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-12943 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/room-escape-360x269.jpg\" alt=\"room-escape\" width=\"360\" height=\"269\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot from \u003ca href=\"http://lonyans.yukishigure.com/escapegame_110610.html\">LoNyan's Room Escape No. 11\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wanting to quantify the beneficial aspects of casual games, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33064/Study_Finds_Casual_Games_Reduce_Depression..\" target=\"_blank\">PopCap Games underwrote a study\u003c/a> in 2011 in which a group of participants - all diagnosed with clinical depression - played casual games over the course of a month.

There were the\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2014/may/01/truth-youtube-mysterious-videos-webdriver-torso\"> 77,000\u003c/a> videos of colored rectangles and tones which appeared on YouTube this year. BBC and others compared it to \"numbers station\" spy communications. Someone on NPR even suggested aliens (\u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27778071\">turns out it was just Google\u003c/a>). Then there was the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370\">Flight 370\u003c/a>; the world watched, rapt, as the mystery unfolded and numerous hypotheses were put forth. CNN suggested aliens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conspiracy theories and urban legends, though different forms of storytelling, operate in similar ways, and have a specific relationship to the belief or skepticism of their audience. These days, the meeting ground for the development of these stories is the internet, the new campground we all sit around. One contemporary urban legend, \u003ca href=\"http://theslenderman.wikia.com/wiki/The_Slender_Man_Wiki\">Slender Man\u003c/a>, has lurked in the virtual realms since 2009, but finally made national headlines when life tragically imitated art. With \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/slender-man-second-knife-attack-linked-to-online-horror-character-9519485.html\">multiple \u003c/a>violent attacks earlier this month connected to Slender Man, the mysterious bogeyman of online horror fiction is now firmly in the zeitgeist (expect imitations of him to pop up in next season's horror films and crime drama TV shows).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folklore often presents a facade of having always existed, or originating mysteriously in some ambiguous earlier time. Yet, digging beneath the surface, one finds that bogeymen such as\u003ca href=\"http://cropseylegend.com/\"> Cropsey\u003c/a>, recently documented lurker of Staten Island, and \u003ca href=\"http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Bunnyman_Bridge\">Bunny Man\u003c/a>, the axe-wielding legend of my own hometown, have origins in actual events. Today, online haunts replace the real world, and myths are no longer localized but related to online subcultures. Folktales have jumped from the campfire to the screens of our computers and phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paranoia over this new threat is reminiscent of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.spectacularoptical.ca/2011/09/the-greatest-pop-cultural-parental-scares-of-the-80s/\">heavy metal, Dungeons & Dragons, slasher flick, Satanism scares\u003c/a> of the 1980s, in which a handful of fatal incidents were sensationally reported. There were over-the-top headlines, court cases, \u003ca href=\"http://io9.com/5829171/when-geraldo-rivera-took-on-satanism-and-a-very-confused-ozzy-osbourne\">TV exposés\u003c/a>; books were sold, and movies were made. It's a long road to that level of national panic, and though Slender Man has just started, he has the internet to help him. Slender Man is a pastiche of folkloric monsters, and his stories are crowd-sourced fan fiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problem is not just disturbed kids confusing fantasy with reality; for those looking to share extremist views, the internet becomes a great equalizer of fact and fiction. One of the Las Vegas shooting perpetrators was \u003ca href=\"http://guardianlv.com/2014/06/slender-man-now-linked-to-another-teen-attack-and-las-vegas-cop-shootings/\">apparently a fan of Slender Man\u003c/a>; neighbors claim to have occasionally seen him dressed in a Slender Man costume. Both shooters were members of the \u003ca href=\"www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-vegas-shooters-20140610-story.html\">so-called “Patriot” movement\u003c/a>, and also attended a rally at notorious racist Cliven Bundy’s ranch. So here we have a tacit connection between two prominent contemporary folklore: fan fiction and conspiracy theories, both facilitated by online subcultures before then leaking out into the real world in the worst of ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Las Vegas incident was one of an alarming number of shootings, widely attributed to stripped regulation of guns, and fueled by the fantasy that the federal government wants to repeal the Second Amendment. These are the so-called false flag conspiracies, which purport that each mass shooting is staged by the government, and cast Obama as the bogeyman. It is storytelling in the same way Slender Man is, interpreted widely and varyingly, depending on who the story is being told by and told to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As urban legends once thrived at slumber parties and conspiracy theories at clandestine basement meetings, there is now the web with its cultures, regions and territories. Unfortunately, the darker corners provide a space for commonly unacceptable beliefs to coalesce. There has never been a tool such as the internet to provide a forum for developing and fermenting ideas among the similarly-minded. Beliefs can be more extreme, because there is no existing social fabric in those realms to hold them in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is truth stranger than fiction? In the online sphere, it is increasingly difficult to discern the two, if even a difference still exists. We watch events transpire in real time, and become news; those of us participating in cultural production feed back into the story. Aliens abduct our airplanes, and horror fiction characters demand blood sacrifice from our kids. Meanwhile simple facts, such as more guns means more gun deaths, are obscured as political positions, which shows how far we've shifted away from empirical reasoning, and toward superstition. If we allow superstition to lead, we will follow down a dark path. Deep in those woods lurk the ghosts of those who strayed, who were hunted and tried as witches. Or at least those will be the stories we tell.\u003c/p>\n\n",

There were the\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2014/may/01/truth-youtube-mysterious-videos-webdriver-torso\"> 77,000\u003c/a> videos of colored rectangles and tones which appeared on YouTube this year. BBC and others compared it to \"numbers station\" spy communications. Someone on NPR even suggested aliens (\u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27778071\">turns out it was just Google\u003c/a>). Then there was the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370\">Flight 370\u003c/a>; the world watched, rapt, as the mystery unfolded and numerous hypotheses were put forth. CNN suggested aliens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conspiracy theories and urban legends, though different forms of storytelling, operate in similar ways, and have a specific relationship to the belief or skepticism of their audience. These days, the meeting ground for the development of these stories is the internet, the new campground we all sit around. One contemporary urban legend, \u003ca href=\"http://theslenderman.wikia.com/wiki/The_Slender_Man_Wiki\">Slender Man\u003c/a>, has lurked in the virtual realms since 2009, but finally made national headlines when life tragically imitated art. With \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/slender-man-second-knife-attack-linked-to-online-horror-character-9519485.html\">multiple \u003c/a>violent attacks earlier this month connected to Slender Man, the mysterious bogeyman of online horror fiction is now firmly in the zeitgeist (expect imitations of him to pop up in next season's horror films and crime drama TV shows).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folklore often presents a facade of having always existed, or originating mysteriously in some ambiguous earlier time. Yet, digging beneath the surface, one finds that bogeymen such as\u003ca href=\"http://cropseylegend.com/\"> Cropsey\u003c/a>, recently documented lurker of Staten Island, and \u003ca href=\"http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Bunnyman_Bridge\">Bunny Man\u003c/a>, the axe-wielding legend of my own hometown, have origins in actual events. Today, online haunts replace the real world, and myths are no longer localized but related to online subcultures. Folktales have jumped from the campfire to the screens of our computers and phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paranoia over this new threat is reminiscent of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.spectacularoptical.ca/2011/09/the-greatest-pop-cultural-parental-scares-of-the-80s/\">heavy metal, Dungeons & Dragons, slasher flick, Satanism scares\u003c/a> of the 1980s, in which a handful of fatal incidents were sensationally reported. There were over-the-top headlines, court cases, \u003ca href=\"http://io9.com/5829171/when-geraldo-rivera-took-on-satanism-and-a-very-confused-ozzy-osbourne\">TV exposés\u003c/a>; books were sold, and movies were made. It's a long road to that level of national panic, and though Slender Man has just started, he has the internet to help him. Slender Man is a pastiche of folkloric monsters, and his stories are crowd-sourced fan fiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problem is not just disturbed kids confusing fantasy with reality; for those looking to share extremist views, the internet becomes a great equalizer of fact and fiction. One of the Las Vegas shooting perpetrators was \u003ca href=\"http://guardianlv.com/2014/06/slender-man-now-linked-to-another-teen-attack-and-las-vegas-cop-shootings/\">apparently a fan of Slender Man\u003c/a>; neighbors claim to have occasionally seen him dressed in a Slender Man costume. Both shooters were members of the \u003ca href=\"www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-vegas-shooters-20140610-story.html\">so-called “Patriot” movement\u003c/a>, and also attended a rally at notorious racist Cliven Bundy’s ranch. So here we have a tacit connection between two prominent contemporary folklore: fan fiction and conspiracy theories, both facilitated by online subcultures before then leaking out into the real world in the worst of ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These are the so-called false flag conspiracies, which purport that each mass shooting is staged by the government, and cast Obama as the bogeyman. It is storytelling in the same way Slender Man is, interpreted widely and varyingly, depending on who the story is being told by and told to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As urban legends once thrived at slumber parties and conspiracy theories at clandestine basement meetings, there is now the web with its cultures, regions and territories. Unfortunately, the darker corners provide a space for commonly unacceptable beliefs to coalesce. There has never been a tool such as the internet to provide a forum for developing and fermenting ideas among the similarly-minded. Beliefs can be more extreme, because there is no existing social fabric in those realms to hold them in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is truth stranger than fiction? In the online sphere, it is increasingly difficult to discern the two, if even a difference still exists. We watch events transpire in real time, and become news; those of us participating in cultural production feed back into the story. Aliens abduct our airplanes, and horror fiction characters demand blood sacrifice from our kids. Meanwhile simple facts, such as more guns means more gun deaths, are obscured as political positions, which shows how far we've shifted away from empirical reasoning, and toward superstition. If we allow superstition to lead, we will follow down a dark path. Deep in those woods lurk the ghosts of those who strayed, who were hunted and tried as witches. Or at least those will be the stories we tell.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

You're ready to head home and stroll over to the bike rack. But your bicycle isn't there. All you see is a wheel, a broken lock, or worse -- nothing at all. And all you're left with is a horrible sinking feeling in your stomach that you'll never see it again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all is not lost! In our tech-savvy town, law enforcement, companies, and others are using an array of online tools to prevent theft and track down stolen bicycles. When I had a mountain bike stolen several years ago, I was able to find it by spreading the word via flyers, email and social media. Ultimately, a Facebook post spotted by a mutual friend was the key to its return; she reclaimed it when \u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/my-stolen-bike-was-found-with-your-help/\" target=\"_blank\">she spotted it at the Laney College Flea Market\u003c/a> in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One significant takeaway from this experience was the realization that there was no easily accessible, centralized resource for victims. I decided to create a \u003ca href=\"https://groups.google.com/group/stolen-bicycles-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\">Google group\u003c/a> where users could post about their stolen bicycles and find a comprehensive list of tips for both prevention and recovery. And I began to connect with other folks who were already deeply involved in the effort, such as Bryan Hance of \u003ca href=\"http://stolenbicycleregistry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">stolenbicycleregistry.com\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/whos-sfpdbiketheft-meet-the-man-behind-the-twitter-handle-officer-friedman/\" target=\"_blank\">Officer Matthew Friedman\u003c/a> of SFPD's Park Station \u003ca href=\"http://www.parkstation.org/stolen-recovered-bicycles.html\" target=\"_blank\">Anti-Bike Theft Unit\u003c/a>.

But there's no substitute for taking basic preventative measures, so here's a handy checklist of how to keep bike thieves at bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Take lots of photos of your bicycle and write down its unique features (you'll find a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebbc.org/theft\" target=\"_blank\">template\u003c/a> at Bike East Bay's website, along with more in-depth tips.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Write down \u003ca href=\"https://bikeindex.org/serials\" target=\"_blank\">the serial number\u003c/a> or put your personal information in the seat tube. Some individuals engrave their driver’s license number on their frame so that police can readily identify it if it’s retrieved.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Get it insured; if you have renter's or homeowner's insurance policy, it may cover it -- check with your provider.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You can also register your bike with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.safebikes.org/\" target=\"_blank\">new bike registration program\u003c/a> created and managed by the community safety organization \u003ca href=\"http://sfsafe.org/\" target=\"_blank\">SF SAFE\u003c/a>. It's free and their website has a ton of excellent information about how to securely lock your bicycle. They also have a \u003ca href=\"http://www.eventbrite.com/e/bike-theft-prevention-workshop-tickets-11437222039?aff=eorg\" target=\"_blank\">free workshop coming up on June 19\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://bikeindex.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Bike Index\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bikeshepherd.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Bike Shepherd\u003c/a> are two other recommended online resources for registration.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lock it up properly (this \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryY-qMFLcfo\" target=\"_blank\">video\u003c/a> from Hal Ruizal of New York City's \u003ca href=\"http://bicyclehabitat.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bicycle Habitat\u003c/a> provides a great demonstration of do's and don'ts) and be mindful of \u003ca href=\"http://bikenapped.com/sf/map.html\" target=\"_blank\">hotspots\u003c/a> in the city.

It's better to walk into a station to report it stolen than file it online; it'll get processed much faster. Try to have proof of ownership with you, such as the serial number or store receipts. Bicycles valued at over $1000 merit an investigation (\u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/cracking-down-on-cycling-crime-the-san-francisco-police-departments-bicycle-theft-workshop/\" target=\"_blank\">read more here\u003c/a>). And message Ofc.

This online tool, \u003ca href=\"http://ifttt.com/\" target=\"_blank\">IFTTT.com\u003c/a>, is an easy method for setting custom alerts so you receive an email anytime a listing matching your bike's description gets posted on these websites.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to your local flea markets right away and see if it’s being sold there. You can also join this \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/groups/bicyclesatbayareafleamarkets/pool/with/7820575636/#photo_7820575636\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr group\u003c/a>, if you’re in the Bay Area, to share and peruse images taken at Laney College, Ashby, Coliseum and other venues.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>While looking for your stolen bike may feel like a part-time job, you may get it back if you keep up the effort. I've heard many wonderful recovery stories from determined folks who successfully hunted down their bicycles, but the most important thing is to try and not get it snatched up in the first place.

You're ready to head home and stroll over to the bike rack. But your bicycle isn't there. All you see is a wheel, a broken lock, or worse -- nothing at all. And all you're left with is a horrible sinking feeling in your stomach that you'll never see it again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all is not lost! In our tech-savvy town, law enforcement, companies, and others are using an array of online tools to prevent theft and track down stolen bicycles. When I had a mountain bike stolen several years ago, I was able to find it by spreading the word via flyers, email and social media. Ultimately, a Facebook post spotted by a mutual friend was the key to its return; she reclaimed it when \u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/my-stolen-bike-was-found-with-your-help/\" target=\"_blank\">she spotted it at the Laney College Flea Market\u003c/a> in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One significant takeaway from this experience was the realization that there was no easily accessible, centralized resource for victims. I decided to create a \u003ca href=\"https://groups.google.com/group/stolen-bicycles-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\">Google group\u003c/a> where users could post about their stolen bicycles and find a comprehensive list of tips for both prevention and recovery. And I began to connect with other folks who were already deeply involved in the effort, such as Bryan Hance of \u003ca href=\"http://stolenbicycleregistry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">stolenbicycleregistry.com\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/whos-sfpdbiketheft-meet-the-man-behind-the-twitter-handle-officer-friedman/\" target=\"_blank\">Officer Matthew Friedman\u003c/a> of SFPD's Park Station \u003ca href=\"http://www.parkstation.org/stolen-recovered-bicycles.html\" target=\"_blank\">Anti-Bike Theft Unit\u003c/a>. (He was recently profiled in this \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/28/us/police-use-high-tech-lures-to-reel-in-bike-thieves.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times video\u003c/a> and oversees the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFPDBikeTheft\" target=\"_blank\">@SFPDBikeTheft\u003c/a> Twitter handle.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As bike theft continues to rise with increasing ridership -- there's been a 70% increase in San Francisco in the past five years -- a whole host of \u003ca href=\"http://inhabitat.com/protect-bikes-against-theft-with-modern-cricket-iphone-app-alarm/\" target=\"_blank\">apps\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://bikespike.com/\" target=\"_blank\">devices\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://bikenapped.com/sf/map.html\" target=\"_blank\">websites\u003c/a> are cropping up on a regular basis. But there's no substitute for taking basic preventative measures, so here's a handy checklist of how to keep bike thieves at bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Take lots of photos of your bicycle and write down its unique features (you'll find a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebbc.org/theft\" target=\"_blank\">template\u003c/a> at Bike East Bay's website, along with more in-depth tips.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Write down \u003ca href=\"https://bikeindex.org/serials\" target=\"_blank\">the serial number\u003c/a> or put your personal information in the seat tube. Some individuals engrave their driver’s license number on their frame so that police can readily identify it if it’s retrieved.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Get it insured; if you have renter's or homeowner's insurance policy, it may cover it -- check with your provider.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You can also register your bike with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.safebikes.org/\" target=\"_blank\">new bike registration program\u003c/a> created and managed by the community safety organization \u003ca href=\"http://sfsafe.org/\" target=\"_blank\">SF SAFE\u003c/a>. It's free and their website has a ton of excellent information about how to securely lock your bicycle. They also have a \u003ca href=\"http://www.eventbrite.com/e/bike-theft-prevention-workshop-tickets-11437222039?aff=eorg\" target=\"_blank\">free workshop coming up on June 19\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://bikeindex.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Bike Index\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bikeshepherd.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Bike Shepherd\u003c/a> are two other recommended online resources for registration.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lock it up properly (this \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryY-qMFLcfo\" target=\"_blank\">video\u003c/a> from Hal Ruizal of New York City's \u003ca href=\"http://bicyclehabitat.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bicycle Habitat\u003c/a> provides a great demonstration of do's and don'ts) and be mindful of \u003ca href=\"http://bikenapped.com/sf/map.html\" target=\"_blank\">hotspots\u003c/a> in the city. And \u003cem>never, ever\u003c/em> leave it unattended, even for a moment.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Now, if you have the misfortune of getting your bicycle stolen, here's what you should do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>File a police report. It's better to walk into a station to report it stolen than file it online; it'll get processed much faster. Try to have proof of ownership with you, such as the serial number or store receipts. Bicycles valued at over $1000 merit an investigation (\u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/cracking-down-on-cycling-crime-the-san-francisco-police-departments-bicycle-theft-workshop/\" target=\"_blank\">read more here\u003c/a>). And message Ofc. Friedman on his aforementioned Twitter account or call him at his Park Station office.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Register it at \u003ca href=\"http://www.stolenbicycleregistry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">stolenbikeregistry.com\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Start spreading the word on your social networks. (This was instrumental in recovering a vintage Italian bicycle that had been \u003ca href=\"//www.plattyjo.com/2012/08/rescued-in-portland-a-stolen-de-rosa-bicycle-has-been-found-after-6-years/\" target=\"_blank\">missing for over 6 years\u003c/a>, as well as a set of \u003ca href=\"http://www.plattyjo.com/my-usa-bicycle-wheels-have-been-found/\" target=\"_blank\">my wheels\u003c/a>.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Scan Craigslist and eBay to see if it pops up for sale. This online tool, \u003ca href=\"http://ifttt.com/\" target=\"_blank\">IFTTT.com\u003c/a>, is an easy method for setting custom alerts so you receive an email anytime a listing matching your bike's description gets posted on these websites.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to your local flea markets right away and see if it’s being sold there. You can also join this \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/groups/bicyclesatbayareafleamarkets/pool/with/7820575636/#photo_7820575636\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr group\u003c/a>, if you’re in the Bay Area, to share and peruse images taken at Laney College, Ashby, Coliseum and other venues.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>While looking for your stolen bike may feel like a part-time job, you may get it back if you keep up the effort. I've heard many wonderful recovery stories from determined folks who successfully hunted down their bicycles, but the most important thing is to try and not get it snatched up in the first place. Keep your bicycles safe and happy riding!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
