Sorry to hear the sad news Clay.
Have you contacted all the bike shops in the Northlake area? That's where most thieves try first to unload a bike.
We see a few "hot" bikes in our shop occasionally but never know who to contact. The asking price is always a giveaway. :o

Ron, thanks for the reply.

The Gwinnett County PD found my bike on Saturday and made arrests. The bike, from what I can tell, is in great shape with the exception of some scratches from tossing it in a vehicle. They didn't ride the bike...or should I say weren't able to ride the bike. The brainiacs removed the front wheel, squeezed the front disc brake, and consequently locked up the caliper. Doh!

I am very lucky. Thule T2 owners...double lock the rack with a chain lock. Lesson learned.
