That sucks, I'm sorry man. Hope can get another wheel for the meantime.

Post a pic if it has any unique scratches maybe?

He didn't lock his rear wheel up. That blows man, I live in a fairly low crime are and still lock everything on my bike up, and none of it is all that nice.

I hope the ****er gets hit by a drunk driver.

yeah, I hate thieves too.
But I'm not about to wish certain death upon them.

He lost an expensive, stupid heavy, thief-magnet wheel.
That crime doesnt warrant death or injury.
It warrants 2 months in county with a few violent and sexually-frustrated gangbangers and crackheads.

Well if the drunk driver has to hit someone I'd rather it be a petty thief than the guy who worked his ass off to get what he has.

Let Boston Fixed know. Someone might have spotted it. Unless, like BoSoxYacht said, you've had it coming.

Yeah, because a deep V laced to a Phil is pretty rare.

Because **** and the potential of STIs certainly isn't injurious to a person.

I am trying to think and can't come up with anything.

I have defiantly not stolen someone's stuff.

I blame myself first, but 2nd to the person that took my wheel that I loved.

I hoped that they really needed it or is dumb enough to post it on Craigs List so I can have my brother and law and his itchy finger Boston SWAT team friends show up to purchase it.

Agreed, but there's an off chance it's a real tarky color combination.

Bike thieves in Boston must roll pretty hard if SWAT has to bust 'em.

Swat Team Leader: [After the bust] We saw him reaching for his U-Lock and I gave the go-ahead for the sniper to take him out.
Chief: What did he have.
Swat Team Leader: He had 3 deep V's and a Spinergy. He even had some cogs.
Chief: Remember that promotion you were up for? Well, you just earned it.
