Stolen in Minneapolis
 

My girlfriend's bike was stolen last night.
Any help would be great.

damn the bike thieves! i shake my fist in their direction, all the way from Chicago!

have her check the local bike shops (I know in Philly we have a few places that buy used bikes, maybe there are some in your area and the person will try and make a quick buck by selling it) also, check out Craigslist.com and see if he/she is trying to sell it there.

Bike theives make me sick.

if I see anyone in philly with a hello kitty seat, I will punch them in the face.... not because it may be your girlfriends bike, but just on principle.

Goodluck!

Grrr. You'd think that bike thefts would have slowed since the bus strike ended. But they've been up since it started, and apparently haven't slowed down.

It wouldn't hurt to check with the police, especially if it was registered. If you're lucky, somebody could've just taken it for a joy ride & ditched it.

That sucks!! I will keep my eyes open for the hello kitty saddle...

It looks like a newer retro trek version???

P.S. Tell Amy I said good luck finding her bike...

Hey, A><Rat here, I came up from Chicago for the Chino's run, saw the amy bike posters, was depressing...good luck

At least shes alive
RIP amber

i fear the bike is gone...we found the chainguard in the parking lot of the apartment next door...

:(

hmmm... I guess another theory would be that the bike Shed its chaingaurd when it turned into a butterfly and flew away. now that would be a beautiful story.... but its most likely being chopped somewhere in philadelphia and sold for $10 worth of crank.

this is the lock i use, and i plan on getting another (for amy)

Speaking of locks, anyone know why if there is a reason the masterlock "Cuff" style locks are so much cheaper now days? At one LBS (FreeWheel) they are all about 50% off, is there something I don't know??

Phil

maybe they can't sell enough of them...I haven't heard anything on them being easier to pop

what kind of lock is that? do they sell 'em at hardware stores?

I don't know, but I'd like one (especially at 50% off) for when I'm out solo and want a minimalist lock w/ max protection. No local shops carry them.

I think I might go buy one today or tomorrow, i have a coupon for 10 dollars off also, so that should bring the cost down a little....

Phil

Well rub it in why don't you... :D

i ordered the chain from work (NAPA)

the company is on the web at SCC

see the lock here

and the chain here

amy had the Kryptonite Kryptochain and Padlock...

Any idea how the lock was foiled? Did they cut the lock shackle?

"they" (the person or persons) cut the chain (three links from the lock) and left it (the lock and chain, minus the cut link).

dang, they didn't even leave the cut link for you analyze. you might have been able to do some detective work...
those cowardly bastadges.

well, s**t... i just got one of those... the paranoid side of me wants to upgrade now...
