I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID. I hope those juvies get charged to the fullest. So much for me being understanding. It wasn't a random act for joy riding. It was deliberate and well thought out.

We claimed our recovered stolen bikes today. They were obviously not just picked up for joy riding.

The luggage rack on my SO's bike was removed. The rack is needed to hold the rechargeable battery. I hope we can replace it. If not, the bike is not useable for someone who needs assistance. We are talking about a $2500+ bike!

The Garmin mounts are also gone. Thanks goodness we keep the computer Garmin's inside.

The coil lock on the top tube I use to lock my bike up when on rides is gone . . . they would have needed a bolt cutter to remove that. That surely would take some thought. If I am going to lock my bike up out of my site, I am going to purchase a much better lock.

My seat bag is gone, my SO's front bag and seat bag are gone.

The end caps on the handle bars are missing.

My Ruby was filthy but I washed it. And my poor Ruby . . . There are lots of new DINGS and scratches.

I test rode the Ruby a little bit a go. The ride seems okay. But it is hard to ride the bike right now. I feel so violated knowing someone else had and abused her so much! I wonder if I will be able to let go of that awful feeling and enjoying riding my Ruby again.
