Laura,

So sorry to hear about your bike. Bike thieves are evil, evil people!

My bike was stolen back in February, and I'm still hoping some idiot tries to sell it on Craigslist so I can report them to the police. And I still take a careful look at every bike that goes by . . .

I didn't have any great pictures of my bike, but at least I had something . . . If I had a nickel for every stolen bike on craiglist that didn't have a picture . . . wow. I hope you had your serial # recorded, or some other proof of ownership . . . that really helped with my insurance claim.

It's really tough to lose a bike that you love, but don't let it be too long before you're back in the saddle, even if it's not your ideal ride . . .

Good luck!
