I wasn't arguing against s/n's. I also have a feeling a grandis pretty easily identified without one - it's not exactly a common brand. On a database the brand alone should ID it.
FYI - in my area (and most areas I'm aware of) a s/n is of pretty limited value...the police have, at best, only the bikes registered in one precinct. It's hardly like a national database. In most cases some photos and/or a receipt are of more value. I like small cards in the bars listing me as owner.
