I can't even believe it. It was taken from my car (which I stupidly forgot to lock) from my carport. We had been through so much together. So many double centuries, the 600k. So many Death Rides. Of course I had my new Garmin on there as well.
I am just completely crushed.

Oh no! What a beauty.
You have a nice photo of it, I'm sending good energy that it will be returned!
Just reading your post turns my stomach - I can't imagine how you must feel.
Oh, that's awful. :mad::(
Oh no!! I'm so sorry. It just makes me sick when something like this happens.
As someone who had a bike stolen, I really feel for you. But, be proactive, submit a police report, list it in the stolen bike registry, send pics to all the LBSs in case someone is stupid enough to bring it in for service or an 'appraisal', check pawn shops, craigs list, etc. You may get lucky...............
I am so sorry, I hope that it is found...
((((((MP))))))
That's awful. Sending you well wishes that it will be recovered shortly and the thief will be caught.
OH. I am SO SORRY! I really am.
That stinks!
And it's not like you live in an easy to get to area where yucky people just wander around loooking for stuff to steal.

This is terrible! I too am sending you some positive vibes in hopes of a safe return of your beloved bike!
What a beautiful bike!! Hopefully because it is not a standard color, that it will show up somewhere. It's definitely a bummer though:eek:
That's terrible. I wonder if someone was "casing" it?
I am so sorry to hear this and can only imagine how you must be feeling right now.

i am so sorry. your bike is BEAUTIFUL. and you can tell it is You. will your car insurance cover it? it's not like someone can readily sell it or ride it around, it is a very unique bike.
i so hope you get it back.
I'm so sorry! What a pretty bike! Post a picture on Craigslist, maybe someone will recognize it.
Oh, man, that really is rotten, and what a beautiful bike, too.
Along with posting on Craigslist, I'd post STOLEN posters all over the neighborhood and at every bike shop in a 20-mile radius. And +1 on the police report and other advice here.
Here's hoping for a safe, damage-free return of the bike and the Garmin.

Your homeowners insurance may cover it - I'm not sure about the car insurance.
Maybe set up some ebay searches to email you every time a merckx is posted... Maybe email any powder coaters or anything like that in the area that are listed on craigslist and tell them to contact you if they get a bike with that paint job in.
I'm really sorry, that looks like a beautiful bike that'll be hard to replace.
(((((mp))))) :(
I dunno, I would not post to Craigs because if the Richard Head who stole it (I not assume the perp has a richard :p) plans to post to Craigs it'll just drive him (or her) to post/sell elsewhere.
There's a flea market near me this weekend, I can drop by the local hardware store that used to sell used bikes (I don't think they do anymore but think they were not real careful about where they got bikes before) and will check Craigs.
I am so sorry! I hate bike rustlers. :mad:
I am so sorry. It is a beauty. Lots of good advice posted here aleady. Hope it shows up.
That's just terrible and I'm so sorry it happened to you :mad:
Awwwww, I'm so sorry to hear about that. You must be brokenhearted. I hope your bike finds its way back to you somehow.
I just e'mailed a link to this thread to Chris at Robinson Wheelworks. There's a picture of the TnT team on his wall so figured some of your team are his customers. I'm sure he'll watch for it.
Did I mention I hate bike 'nappers? :mad:
There is a special place in hell for bike thieves. :mad: I'm so sorry, MP!
That is just awful. What a beautiful bike! I would do as suggested and put the pictures out everywhere you can. It is such a unique paint scheme that someone somewhere will notice it! I hope that it comes back home. :(
Oh, this would make me sick! I am so sorry...I hope your pretty baby is recovered safely and the jerk who took it pays dearly. :mad:
Oh, man. That sux. I am so sorry to hear that.
That is a really distinctive bike.
I second the comments about blanketing Craigslist and local bike shops with pictures and posts.
I had a bike stolen from a friend's yard. Her homeowner's insurance covered it (less a deductible).
Good luck. I hope you find it, rather than have to replace it.
Oh NO! I'm so sorry! That's heartbreaking. That's such a special bike.
I always check Ebay for Merckx. I'll definitely be looking for it. Is it a 54?
ETA: I also feel sick now. (((MP)))
There's a team Lotto Domo on Ebay right now, but it has a different fork.

That just stinks, I'm sorry! I hope they find the bastard and your bike. Make sure your police detective checks local pawn shops.
Boo to the bike thief/thieves that stole your beloved bike :mad:
:(
That bites!!:(:mad::(:mad:
I hope you can recover it, although I know that it's probably unlikely...:(
That is one "unique" and beautiful bike. So sorry this happened. I'm sending energy out to the universe - that it will be recovered and you will get it back. Bike thieves are a--holes. They will get theirs. Grrrrrrrrr. Best wishes to you. Keep us posted or vent if you need to. :)
Right off your car??? How terrible, Sarah. I am so sorry. It sure was a beauty.
Wow, that sucks.
Aw, Yuck.
So sorry this happened to you.
I don't know how I missed this earlier, but man, that sucks! I'm so sorry MP!
My husband is constantly on the prowl for Merckx bikes, so I'll tell him to keep an eye out up here.
I will never understand why people feel "entitled" to take something that does not belong to them
..such a pretty bike and such lovely memories......
Sorry if this is a crazy question, because I don't have a Garmin--but, can you track its location by the Garmin?
I was thinking that too! Heh heh heh :cool: ;) sneaky :)Quote:
