Clayton: good for you, man! And the injuries and fright you gave that stupid kid may well save him from a far worse fate, the hell of a long term in a modern prison. Charity is not always "kind". On Thu, Jun 29, 2017 at 9:21 AM, 'Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com>

Re: [RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

I'm so glad you got your bike back. I was another who was preparing to drive down there when I got word that it had already been recovered. It's funny..I had no idea what I was going to do when I got there, but everything in my brain was "I'm not leaving without that Glorius." I didn't think of

Fantastic news! Terrific team effort. While we're on the subject of bike theft, please keep a look out for my Rivish Austro-Daimler Superleicht (picture attached). Stolen from my garage (yes, it was locked, but even a stout cable lock is no match for bolt cutters) in North Beach, San

[RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

Stellar! It makes me frickin' happy that you got your bike back! I really hate bike thieves. I caught some before (they punched my kid, and stole his bike) and the rush of revenge when I leapt off my bike at fifteen mph and tackled the teen that was riding it, was very primal and shocking.

Re: [RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

What story! I'm so glad you got the bike back. A Gary Fischer MTB that I had for 10 years recently got stolen at a Caltrain station. I have lot of great memories associated with it (esp of taking my son around for many many rides since he was 18 months). The bike was worth $100 tops, but

A lot of folks have asked, so here is the recovery story: Brad emailed me and my husband, TR, ran down to the spot as soon as I got the email which was within 30 min after the email was sent. When TR arrived, he didn't see the bike because in that time, Andy, another biker, bought the bike

Re: [RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

I missed the "found it" post, but I'm very glad you recovered it. I had one bike stolen, and it was annoying even though I didn't have much emotional capital invested in it. (I did get a much better bike out of the insurance company, though.) -- You received this message because you are

[RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

Looks to be a straightforward case of Purple With Envy. (Sorry, could not help that.) It appears the bike ended up in a homeless encampment. Is that correct? I sympathize with losing a bicycle, but not having a place to live really sucks on a whole nuther level. Which is not to say I approve
