I have my bikes registered with a national system (name escapes me), but in addition to that I have engraved my DMV # very noticeably on the top tubes. If a thief's intent is to pawn it, that won't (or shouldn't) happen.
I also have an address label super-glued and clear-coated beneath the bottom bracket. And, since flats are rather common putting id inside your tires wouldn't hurt.

Subject: [BikeWashingtonDC] The problem of theft - GPS or RFID, and bike registries...
Does anyone know of any solutions based on GPS or RFID, so that if the
bike is stolen, the police can pinpoint where it is?
Also, what are the best bike registries in the area? For example, in
Chicago, the Chicago Police Department has the main bike registry.
When stolen bikes are recovered, the Police contacts the owner, based
on current DMV contact information.
