Heartbroken

Four of my bikes--including my three nicest--stolen from my apt. bldg last night.

I'm not a wealthy person. I buy everything used, and scrabble for good deals. I tend to keep what I buy, as I go after bikes that catch my eye or have certain materials, etc.

Here's what they took:

-A Trek 7.3fx (black, 20", from a couple years ago w/some really nice mods by the previous owner)
-A 2004 Fuji Roubaix Pro (reynolds 853, 58cm) -- well used by its previous owner, but also well looked after. On paper, was probably my nicest bike.
-A 1998 (?) Cannondale R600, converted to SS
-an early 80s Motobecane Jubilee that was too small for me and was morphing into a donor bike (not such a big deal.)

I depend on the Trek for daily use. I'm a student and part time consultant and bought these bikes mostly last year when I was getting more work. I have almost nothing going on right now.

Someone once told me there's a saying: "there's a special hell reserved for bicycle thieves." Now I know what they mean.

I suppose now I'll have to edit my sig.

*******s.
