Don't mean to be negative - I want to see the Bike Share program succeed, and believe in the "ounce of prevention" theory.

Has anyone reached out to the local Scrap Metal Recycling Yards, such as Alderman-Dow and SIMS regarding the Bike Share bikes?

As we know, we have a major issue in the city with metal theft for the purpose of scrap-for-cash. People are going so far as to steal the tiny covers on light poles, which are probably worth a fraction of a bike.

It could be helpful to provide laminated photos/posters to the Scrap Yards to help them identify whole or pieces of Bike Share bikes that are brought in.
Are there any identifying marks on components (frame, wheels, handlebars, etc) that are unique to these bikes?
