That is awful. I have had bikes stolen too. Plus, one attempt outta my garage w/ the door up... but all the lights on & where you could SEE us sitting right in the living room through the glass front screen door! Now, that takes a lot of b@lls.

Unfortunately to say, they probably stalked his bike first. I think that is exactly what happened to my garage attempt story. I was coming in late from a ride w/head-light on. It's known in our sub I'm a cyclists = nice$bikes.

Out of all the bikes & power-tools they could have grabbed outta my garaage in that attempt... they ONLY went for *mine*. The other bikes are lesser $ quality. Bastages.

Since that, my mtb sleeps inside the house in the formal dining room--white carpet and victorian drapes included. My new carbon roadie girl sleeps on the 2nd story literally at the foot of my bed.

OH, and good luck w/the dog if ya get in.

Besides being insured on my home-owners, I also registered our bikes through the national organization. Lord only knows what condition it would be if found. But hopefully might lead to catching the theif.

(((hugs))) to your friend!
