But it appears that only law enforcement have access to the database.  It would be much more effective if people were able use it to do a search to see if a bike was reported stolen or not.  It may be because it has been around for a long time and was never updated to have an internet interface.<p>They say they are the &quot;only true national database&quot; (whatever that means), but I&#x27;m sure other (non-true) ones popped up because of this limitation.
