I asked this when I got mine done the other day. You're supposed to register the bike on the Immobilise website with the number, plus despcription and photos. When the police pull over a cyclist for running a red light or whatever, they flip the bike over, run a check and you pop up as the registered owner. If the rider isn't you he has some explaining to do.
If you sell the bike you can just unregister it from your name and the buyer has the option of re-registering in their own name.
I have registered my bike on the Immobilise website even though I must admit I am very skeptical about it. I have been riding around London for years now and I have never been pulled by police and I have never seen the polic pulling anybody for running a red light or for looking a suspicious thief... I dont know but I always thought that police have much more important things to do than stopping cyclists..
