The lookout could see up and down the path and make the setup perfect for the thugs. They knew what to do, went right for my jersey pockets as they kicked my head. Within 5 min's the cell phone in my bag was off and never re-started. Arrests have been made but I do not expect the Madone to be returned. With bike, gear, iPhone, Node 2 speedometer, helmet cracked, clothing ruined, and tax $4482.00.

I spoke to the resident of the underpass and thanked him for the help he gave me the day it happened. He was nervous with me around and I slipped him a twenty and thanked him again.
I'm glad you were able to go back to the crime scene for your own mind's sake. Hard to explain what I mean. You're prob right about the lookout. That's what people have been saying and it seems you confirmed it.

That's quite a loss you've had...over 4K on top of being assaulted. It's just f'd up. Sorry.
