JeepFleeb's bike was stolen last night (if you didn't know) and the scumbag theives left a Riedel Decater at the scene. Guess they couldn't ride PowerCranks and carry the decanter.

Anyway, I looked it up online. Its a Riedel Ultra Decanter, new in box. Retails from $160-$180. Make an offer.

To go towards purchase of new PowerCranks.

Why not sell raffle tickets for it! We can buy virtual tickets with pledges and then the winner gets the decanter and jeep gets the proceeds?

Sounds good to me. I was thinking something along those lines.

Lets wait and see what the insurance company says. If he can't claim it (without raising rates), or if they don't give enough to cover the cost of the PowerCranks, it sounds like a plan.

Side thought:  Did you tell them about the decanter when you filed a police report?  I don't know how much investigation they will be willing to do for a small theft, but if they are willing to pursue it, the decanter could come in handy.  In other words, is there a nearby store that sells this particular decanter and do they have a record of who purchased the item on the day the theft took place?

Best of luck.

Yes we did. Also, my bike would have prints on it as well, but they didn't really care. Again, its on the bottom of their list. I don't really blame them, as we were scouring some fields looking for it thinking it may have been ditched, all I could think about was how families have to go through this, late at night, with flashlights, looking for children. I'd rather the police be looking for children and murderers anyway.

I would suspect that the decanter is stolen also.  You are obligated to a limited extent legally and a larger extent morally to return it to the rightful owner.

 

It is a very nice decanter.

Well  I would gladly give it back if I knew where it went. It doesn't have a store sticker on it. And the cops weren't interested...

When I do drink wine, I just pour from the bottle into mouth glass. Not much need for a decanter, maybe someone else wants it for a good price. Love makes the world go round.

 I say the "raffle" tickets sound like a good idea. As for making an effort to find the owner, I don't think that is your responsibility. I agree with the whole karma thing as well, you lost the bike, now maybe JeepFleeb can find one that he likes to replace it with some money from a raffle.

I don't know about ebay, but there are always Stolen Bike notices on craig's list ... might be worth doing that ... will keep people on the lookout.

How about a paypal account for donations? I'm always dropping $5 or $10 for one good cause or another ...

I agree about the paypal account.. after you finish with the insurance you should post a link, I am sure people would be willing to donate.

TexMom and I would contribute some, too.  Kind of like a pledge drive.  Also, maybe your LBS could provide some assistance at purchase time.

Yes, yes, yes.

We're taking all avenues to get the bike. Craigslist and Ebay are on notice, checking repeatedly and will continue to do so. All the bike shops know and we've called pawn shops.

I've already been in contact with people about getting a bike at discount. He is known around town, so hopefully that will save more money. We're awaiting word from PowerCranks as well.

I will keep everyone updated as to what insurance says and he already has a pay pal account that I will post once we know where we stand.

Thanks for your concern and help. Anyone want a decanter??
