New bike serial number?
Previous bikes were cheap enough not to worry about theft. Not so now. I looked in the usual place (BB) for a serial number and can't find it. Is there a serial number on full carbon bikes? If not how does one describe bike for insurance and possible police theft report?

Mine had two stickers. I forget where the first one was, but it was easy to see. I found the other one near the BB when I flipped it over to wash it once.
I suspect different vendors have different practices.

It varies by manufacturer, but many bike shops include them either on the receipt itself or in documentation, if your bike comes with a manual. Call your shop and ask. they should be able to quickly tell you.
