A similar service, new to me, is 529 Garage at https://project529.com/garage
which is mentioned in this CBC news story "How to prevent bike theft — and recover a stolen bike" at http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/how-to-prevent-bike-theft-and-recover-a-stolen-bike-1.3639716 as having partnered with the Vancouver Police Department. Vancouver is evidently suffering a minor surge in bike theft, as is Seattle and maybe everywhere else where cycling is on the increase.
