My vehicle was stolen on Bonaire, what should I do first?

For a theft on Bonaire, first report it to KPCN, the police force of the Caribbean Netherlands, via 911 or at the station. Then mark the vehicle as stolen in your Registro Bonaire dashboard. It immediately gets a stolen status in the public lookup, so a buyer sees the report before paying.

Does a report in the register replace a police report?

No. Registro Bonaire is a commercial register, not a law enforcement body. A report here makes sure buyers are warned, but only KPCN can investigate. Always file a police report, even if you have already flagged the vehicle with us.

I suspect a vehicle for sale is stolen. What can I do?

First run the free lookup by licence plate or chassis number and check for a theft report. Do not buy the vehicle and do not pay anything if there is doubt. Report your suspicion to KPCN with as much detail as possible: chassis number, licence plate, location and the seller's contact details.

What happens to the report if my vehicle is recovered?

You remove the stolen status yourself from your dashboard once the vehicle is back. The public lookup then shows it as normally registered again. Also report the recovery to KPCN so their own records are correct.

Can other people see my details if I report a theft?

No. The public list of stolen vehicles shows vehicle data only: make, model, type, licence plate and the month of the report. Your name, address and the details of your report are never shown, and neither is the exact date.
