Bike Thieves Are Evil

[emily_in_nc]

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!

oh that s*cks. I am so sorry for you.

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......

trisk-How annoying Poo!

The same thing happened to Ian when we first bought our house. The first thing we did was call the good bike shops in town who might be able to put the word out. We never did see it again

Some people need a slap on the head

I tell ya, I'd be regularly cruising the bike racks on the campus, with my receipt and bolt cutters in hand.

I've cried over so many stolen bikes in my youth. I know the feeling.

While, of course, none of your kids' friends would have done such a thing (...) certainly someone must have seen someone leave with the bike. Contact all the people who were there and ask them outright if they saw anyone take the bike.

Best of luck in getting it back.

Not to be a wet rag, but one of your house guests could have done it. I've spent a few years around law enforcement (rode with a sheriff's deputy for 3 summer seasons, among other things), and it was truly amazing the number of "good kids" that got into trouble, often taking advantage of an opportunity. The parents were usually the "not my child, he/she is a good boy/girl." Yeah, right. Guess I'm a cynic. I'd talk to the kids that were at your house, as a group, and ask if anyone knows anything, please return the bike, stealing is wrong, it's a bad reflection on their organization, their school, etc.

That sucks - BIG TIME!

I'm with BMCC... I am a cycnic too... I wouldn't discount the friends immmediately. We like to think those we gather around us are without reproach but unfortunately it is not always so.

Hopefully it was none of them.
Def contact the invited ones.
Hopefully one of them might have a clue about when it went missing, or an idea of where it might be.
Perhaps just asking around might help it miraculously reappear on your doorstep...
