When I was working at ABC my buddy had his Manitou full suspension bike stolen from his roof after a sandia MTB race. For those of you old enough to remember those, they were super rare and basically had a manitou front fork on the back as suspension. After the race while I was at work, a guy came in to buy a front wheel. At the same time, one of my co-workers came back from lunch and said there was a really cool Manitou bike in the back of a truck out front, and he had never seen one before. I walked out and grabbed the bike and brought it in the store and informed the front wheel purchaser that it was my buddies. After a creative explanation about how he bought it and why it didn’t have a front wheel, he said he didn’t have time to wait for the police, as he was late for an appointment but would certainly check back later. Never heard from h again, and I have never seen anyone so excited to see their bike.

I got my stolen Serotta back once. It was pure luck: a guy bought it at the flea market and took it to the bike shop to install an aero Campy bottle. I was standing next to the guy when he got it back and then I got it back. (Still have the bottle somewhere.)

Has anyone ever gotten their stolen bike back? Mine was stolen last week, and I kind of figure it's likely halfway across the country - or in another country - by now. And now you can just do the police report online, so that no officer has to be forced to express concern and pretend that they'll do something....

Anyway, if you do see a small red and black Specialized Tarmac with DA 10 speed and mismatched wheels, it's probably mine!
