Stolen: Klein Attitude Race MTB

[chelle]

F^cking theives! You will rot in hell!

 

Bright blue 17" 1997 hand built Klein Attitude Race mountain bike, Judy front shock, and full XT group. If anyone hears of a really cool cheap bike let me know (in case it is mine). Stolen from U district in the past 48 hours.

That sucks

fuckers!!

wtf? how f'ing lame!!!

I've had three bikes stolen. Totally sucks. Sorry to hear of your loss.

[thelawgoddess]

that must get expensive. a rear windshield's probably nothing compared to a bike!

[rbw1966]

The worst was my Bontrager Race mountain bike that I had saved up for quite a while to purchase. I was in college and scraping up the dough (something like 1500 at the time) was tough. I had it less than a year.

That fucking sucks Michelle, sorry. They need a LoJack for bikes.

LoJack would be awesome. Someone in my building must not have latched the locked store room door. A few of us got hit. Thankfully they didn't take my road bike too. Guess I'm restricted to the Burke for a bit until I can get it replaced. Thanks for the support everyone.

i'd be careful. don't know where you live, but it could have been someone in your building. totally sucks. i was scared leaving my car in its usual spot last night, but fact is i don't really have anywhere else better to put it!

If it's any consolation, your renter's insurance should cover it under the circumstances.

 

Sorry to hear of it, that totally suxxor.

[Double_E]

damn!!!! sorry, chelle.

 

 

I've had a couple bikes stolen, myself..... one cause of really determined thieves (they broke my krypto lock) and once cuz of a really stoopid Double_E (long story; don't ask).

 

 

at any rate, both times.. I wanted to take a baseball bat to their little bastard bike thief knees.

Hmmm, auction start time June 9: 1997 blue Klein Attitude Race being hawked on Ebay. Except Rock Shok front forks, not Judy.

 

Having a Klein myself, I'm particularly miffed at this theft.

[willstrickland]

Judy is a model of Rock Shox fork Mr. Klenke, maybe you have found the perp. Seriously, good catch.

[iain]

Wow, totally suspect. No feedback, no other sales. Would be good to get a photo of the SN or dealer sticker on the seat tube.

 

I like to put a piece of paper in the head tube that says "this bike is stolen. call this number."

[chelle]

Thanks guys. No way to track if the guy is legit from IL or not. A few components (seat, computer, wheels) are different. Dude is asking way too much for the bike. My insurance company estimated actual cash value at $578.49, but thankfully will reimburse me for replacement of the bike at just under 5x that, less my deductible of $500...

 

I'll soon have a nice new set of wheels after a couple paychecks to cover the deductible. The new bike will be registered with a company that registers bikes and other valuable property so if it gets stolen it can be returned if found. After 5 moves since I bought it I no longer had the serial #.

It's not the bike. If you note the temperature on the computer it says 97 degrees, and it wasn't that hot here but was in Indianopolis that week.

[thelawgoddess]

that's great you had replacement value insurance!
