    That's really terrible. I hope they catch them. Glad they left the bikes!

    Aw, that stinks. Hope the perps get what's coming to them.

    Thanks all.
    You know just when you start to think that things are turning around, and it's going to be ok.... THIS happens! I just can't get ahead.
    I have insurance, but with a 500.00 deductable, and only just over a 1k loss I'm thinking it's not even worth filing a claim for.
    sigh.... theives just STINK!!

    Do the burglars now have possession of your customer names, addresses, (homes of expensive bikes), and worse, credit card numbers? That's very scary.

    She said all the point of sale information was online, so it shouldn't be in the computer? It must be about identity theft, though, because anyone who has tried to hock a computer would know that you'd get more for it with the cables. (Or they're just stupid.) If they know how to mine the computer for information, they would already have cables.

    Then it might be about the high-end bikes, too.

    I'm sorry this happened. I would warn your best customers to be extra careful with their bikes.

    Sorry to hear about this but you are lucky they didn't get the bikes. Same thing happened to one of our local shops, and they did take the bikes!

    RM - How scary and frustrating. Glad the police realized they screwed up - though it really would be nice if they had checked in the first place. How'd they put the note on the door without looking inside?!

    Here's hoping things turn around for you - we're rooting for you and your shop!
