The serial number is the bike's version of your car's VIN. With it you can check if the bike has been reported stolen. For high-end bikes it can also be used to track original point of sale, and maybe even first owner.

How would you locate someone that asked a question about your stolen firearm?

Your question is rather vague- however- by chance did you see an internet question where someone asked about a JC Higgins rifle or shotgun- that had YOUR serial number? Unfortunately, there is a simple answer. That is NOT a serial number, but a Sears model number. Prior to 1968, serial numbers were not required by law on rifles and shotguns. Sears marked their guns with a model number- such as 583.134. Thousands of people have taken that to be a serial number. If this is what happened- sorry. If this did not answer, please contact me through my answers.com message board.
