um. We were talking about a (quasi-)official site. If you reported my bike
stolen then I would presume that the police would want to speak with the
poor owner who suffered the loss. If you were fake (in this instance you
are) then possibly a warning about 'wasting police time' would be in order ?

Support the idea though (and like isitdodgy.com too!)
