1,My bike was stolen so I had no choice than to call the police.
2,My bike was stolen so I've had no choice than to call the police.
3,I had no choice because my bike was stolen.
4,I have had no choice because my bike was stolen.

All 4 are correct ?
And what is the difference between 1 or 2, the second sentence means that he called the police before his bike was stolen ?

You need to use 'other than':
My bike was stolen so I had no choice other than to call the police.

'I have had no choice' is a strange tense to use there.
