I rolled my bike out of the garage, closed the garage door, and went into my condo.

I put on my backpack, walked out the patio door.

And my bike was gone.



I couldn't have been inside 2-3 minutes, and the patio door looks at where the bike was parked. Geez, I've done this a hundred times or more with no problems. Yes, I am an idiot.


Hopped in the car and drove around, but didn't see the bike. Called the non-emergency number for the police, and they were there within 20 minutes. He took a report, and were going to look around for it. He said if it was a kid, he'd probably ride it to within a block of his destination, then pitch it in someone's yard. He thought it probably wasn't one of the garbage gleaners, since they come around the night before trash pickup, not early mornings.

So I'm looking at $150 - 300 for a used bike, and $150 to replace racks, lights, seat bag, tools...

RIP Voyageur.
