First, so sorry to hear about your loss
As Bill S asks, was your bike on bikeindex.com?
I purchased a Trek 520 via my local CL. It was in pretty good shape after
I examined it. I wanted to find out what year it was so I googled the SN.
It popped up on bikeindex.com as being stolen.
Same thing happens here in the Chicagoland area and most of the bikes end
up at a flea market in a near suburb called Alsip. The really unfortunate
thing about events like this is that the cops seem to be either reluctant
or just plain unwilling to do anything about it. And that applies both
First off, my condolences. My beloved chartreuse Raleigh International was
stolen from behind a restaurant in West Berkeley where I was cooking in

upsetting but we won’t give up hope that the bike can be recovered. The
evil of bike thieves cannot be understated. The whole building got its
bikes stolen?!

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that after all the work you put into it. I
wish I could offer more than sympathy.I take it you reported it to the
cops. Do you at least have insurance? Sounds like this was a lot more
organized than a random grab and go if they got all the bikes in the
Shit… well I’ll keep an eye out as I cruise through the Mission on my way
to work tomorrow and each day thereafter. I’m so sorry.
