 21 |  Subject: Stolen Bike!So I just recently got my first road bike. I live in a collage town... and next thing I know, somebody else has a brand new bike! I can't believe people other people can actually go around stealing other peoples belongings. Hopefully whoever stole my bike needed it for some life or death situation, and just happened to have a pair of wire cutters handy. (some how i doubt it though!) |

Definitely never store your bike on a rack for more than a few minutes, because the people who steal from college racks know what they're doing and all they need is time. -dave |

| Elite 4344 | Subject: RE: Stolen Bike! I remember a college roommate many years ago applying the most amateurish black spray paint job possible to his brand-new (Peugeot I think) bike. It was a shame to do it, but it was effective. His bike was not stolen from the campus of a downtown college. |

| Extreme Veteran 508 Kennesaw, GA | Subject: RE: Stolen Bike! I had a couple of friends wrap their entire bike in electrical tape. It had the same effect as the sloppy paint job deterrent, and it was correctable with a bit of solvent. Their bikes were never stolen. Sorry about your loss meghan. :-( |

| Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: Stolen Bike! Uggg! Do you have renter's insurance? If so, it's probably covered. Even so, it sucks! I hear of folks in San Francisco who have had their brand new tri bikes stolen out of their garages, and it just plain sucks! |

| Veteran 135 | Subject: RE: Stolen Bike! You may have already done this but check with your local police department. Believe it or not I used to be a police officer and had my bike stolen from the front yard, while I was inside. A few days later I checked our bike pen (place we kept found bikes) and it was there. May be worth a shot. |
