    Tracking

    My friend was telling me about this device in her car (BMW) that they hide in the undercarriage so that if the car is stolen, they can track it--it greatly increases the chances of recovery :P

    Maybe they could do that for bikes They could attach it in a non-accessible spot inside the frame

    I just looked on Craigslist to find it and I saw your post. I really hope you find it. It makes me sick that people steal from other people. I showed a picture of it to my husband too and told him to keep a lookout for your bike.

    Thanks everyone for keeping an eye out and looking for my bike.

    No luck finding the bike but I guess there is a happy ending of sorts. It turns out my smart DH specified replacement coverage in our homeowners policy. Which means after a deductible (ouch but doable), they will pay for the cost to replace the bike - as opposed to the "actual cash value" of my 5 year old bike, depreciated, which wouldn't have been as much as I would need to really replace it with something comparable.

    So I am bike shopping.

    My daughter is combing Craigslist to find a Garmin Nuvi for sale without the car charger and mount. She's gone all CSI on us. (They grabbed the Garmin out of the cubby hole I keep it in but didn't take the mount or charger. Duh.)

    I just wanted to say I hope this turns out better for you. It is never fun to have something stolen from you. Let alone from your car!
