Oh that is just too much.
I hope you could give photos of the bike to the police. Maybe put up some posters around the area about the stolen bike?
Make sure some of the guests know that this happened....in case they see someone they know riding around on it.
So sorry, it really really stinks.

That really sucks! I can't imagine having something stolen from my home (or at least I don't want to...)
I do remember your story from your Bike Friday - so, I have to confess, I'm glad it wasn't your bike. But still....that sucks!!Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

Actually, they left 3 bikes, all of which had more value. DH's bike friday was also right next to the one they took. But the mountain bike looked coolest to a boy.
Yeh, I know what to do, been there done that. My kids already asked all their friends to be on the lookout, but after what happened with my bike friday I am not optimistic.
Thanks for the support guys. I really just needed a place to vent.

Oh no -- not again! I am so, so sorry. There is nothing else to say. I know how careful you are after having your own bike stolen. Who would ever expect to have a bike stolen out of their own home when they were there?! Boggles the mind!
Jeez louise -- there is a special place in h*ll for these thieves!

Yeh, that's why they were in my living room and not the garage. Feronia in fact was in my bedroom on the trainer. All I can say is at least it wasn't Isis or Feronia. I couldn't go through getting another custom crank set made again. I can't believe Isis was right next to this bike, and Rui's friday was right behind it, at least he took the cheapest bike in the room but it still blows.
For a while after my friday was stolen I did lock Isis to my weight bench inside my house, but then I moved the bench upstairs and thought I was being paranoid......
