We aim to have two 'live' maps going at any one time.
The first will be a map for the current month. It will feature placemarks showing where and when bikes have been taken from along with details of the bikes themselves.
The second map will feature all of the bikes that have their details sent into us. This map should show most of the 'hotspots' in Dublin City & suburbs that bikes are being taken from. Once this map starts showing some real detail we should be able to have a list of hotspots which we will email out to you every month.
Apart from people getting to see where the problem areas are in the city centre, we also hope that we will be able to see residential areas where thieves are operating. For example if we see numerous bikes being stolen from gardens over a few days or a week in Stillorgan, people can mention it to their family or neighbors.
All suggestions are welcome so please comment below or email StolenBikeLog@gmail.com with any ideas you might have. We're also on twitter, @StolenBikeLog.

That's an awesome idea. Could be hard to work in Dublin as the post codes quite a bit bigger than say UK post codes which only cover a few streets. No familiar with how US post codes work.
