insult to injury Raleighdon's custom bike stolen

[Trek420]

Everytime this thread pops up in "New Posts" I think, "Oh good, the bike has come home!"

I'd like to think that one of Donald's well-meaning friends appropriated the bike to tune it up, and get it all clean and nice for him to use as soon as he recovered. Now the current possessor of the bike is probably filled with remorse because he didn't get it done in time, and he's too embarassed to return it.

Sadly I don't think that's the case.

Now every black/red lugged steel bike I see here causes a gasp and a 2nd look. I think we had momentum for a coordinated routine of search especially with the good folks on bike journal.

Unless that's going on separately I think the grief and feeling of loss of Don took the wind out of the sails at least for a bit. I for one feel whoever has Katrina she's not there. Bikes have a soul and hers is riding with Don.

So maybe the crook is lying low for a while with the bike and thinks people have forgotten and will take it out in a while ... but no. We will never forget Don. I for one will be looking.

Karma's a b*tch so I expect to find the thief by the side of the road or doored with Katrina nearby and unharmed.
