Include Recent Stolen bikes in Your Blog

A single PHP require statement to this url will allow you to show the latest stolen bikes in your blog.

Example php code is:

<?php
require 'http://www.finetoothcog.com/services/latest_stolen_bikes';
?>
You may control the number of listings (up to 50 bikes) by passing in an 'items' param like:
<?php
require 'http://www.finetoothcog.com/services/latest_stolen_bikes?items=10';
?>
Note:
5 is the default value if no 'items' param is present.
Email info[at]finetoothcog[dot]com for assistance or with suggestions.
If you have more than 500 requests a day please do not use the 'items' param, by not using the parameter FTC is able to perform caching which helps keep the server load low.
