2012 Specialized Ruby Elite Sz 44 What do I replace it with

[marni]

i am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. It is hard emotionally to regain trust in anything especially since the robbers invaded your territory and stole your good friends.

I can off no advice about the replacement bikes except to say thank goodness for insurance companies who actually perform as promised.

We are paranoid about keeping our garage shut and locked for that very reason as we had a a lawn mower stolen in a brief stretch of time between taking the groceries into the house and bringing the empty carry bags back out to the car.

Lesson learned, there's not room for all three in thehouse, but I can guarantee you the madone gets house room. Might be something to consider.

I hope your search for a new bike goes somoothly and that you find something that fits like a glove and that you love.

So was the garage door open then? Is that how they were stolen? I know theft via the open garage is quite common opportunistic theft, but breaking into a garage and stealing a bike with the lock on it? Seems less opportunistic. How do thieves open garage doors? Can you overcome the electric closing thing with a crow bar or something? Can you add extra security to the garage door, sliding locks on the inside, etc?

I LOVE the colors on that Trek as well. Very nice. Is your homeowners insurance covering the loss I hope??

Does it really matter how it happened. The bikes were stolen. I miss my Ruby. Don is happier with the new bike. Still, with 2,500 deductible only one bike was covered. We are implementing measures so that it never happens again. I can bring my bike in the house as it is quite light. His weighs quite a bit, but we will figure out something. I just wish I wasn't so depressed. We were burglarized around 17 years ago. We didn't have deadbolts on the doors. It was some kids and they didn't take a whole lot, but for almost a year I couldn't go into the house without an escort and then locked every window and door I could. I still get depressed about that too, sometimes. Now I go into the garage and just get nauseated.

WOO WOO WOO
The police recovered our bicycles. We can't get them for a few days because they using them for evidence. We will be gone anyway. LOL . . . I now have a carbon speed bike and a carbon distance bike. I have to find out what the insurance company will do.
