About Finetoothcog

The easiest way to sell a stolen bike is on the internet using services such as Craigslist and eBay.

Finetoothcog takes over the menial task of scanning these sites.* Like a 'fine tooth comb' the fine tooth cog covers the electronic sales methods and keeps you informed of bikes for sale similar to the one you describe. It sends you an email digest each evening and provides a webinterface to viewing what bikes are for sale similar to yours.
