[RBW] Re: Stolen rivs in seattle

[dougP]

Michael:

Thanks for the update.  It sounds like the San Marcos is still in the area 
but maybe in hiding.  Another insurance tip is to check your coverage to 
see if it's full replacement value or cost less depreciation.

[RBW] Re: Stolen rivs in seattle

[Michael Ullmer]

I wanted to post a big thank you to everyone on the list who responded and 
sent kind messages along. It felt great to have a community of people who 
knew and appreciated what it meant to have TWO Rivs stolen. A LOT of time 
was spent putting these together, piece by piece, and to people like my 
insurance company they were just two "bikes."

As many of you saw, the Hillborne was recovered thanks to Aarons Bicycle 
Repair, less a Mark's Rack, Wald Basket and a Tubus Nova Low-rider rack 
that the thieves literally ripped off (pieces of the struts are still 
attached to the front eyelets). It also sustained quite a bit of paint 
damage and a dent on the right chainstay just off the bottom bracket shell.

The San Marcos was actually seen a few hours after my Hillborne was 
recovered only a couple blocks from my house. The rider was confronted by 
someone who knew it was stolen after looking at Bike Index. The rider 
claimed that he "tried" to get it back to the owner (me) by posting it on 
CL, but he definitely did not. The rider got confrontational and took off 
and I haven't heard anything about it since. I'm still hoping though, it 
was a great build that I was pumped to have ready for this summer's riding.

The insurance company is going to cover a portion of the loss which is 
great. Not sure when that's all going to come through, but I'm in no rush. 
Not sure what I'll replace it with yet, an Ocean Air Rambler sounds very 
tempting.

If I learned anything from this, make sure you write down serial numbers! 
If you have more time, take pictures and make a spreadsheet with details 
about your builds. 

Again, thanks everyone for your support!

Update! Thanks to Aarons  Bicycle Repair in White center and Bike Index I got 
my hillborne back.  Someone brought it in to sell it and they held in to it 
until I got there.  I'll post more later about the recovery, still no Internet

Gut Wrenching!  I can't imagine that happening.
Ask the neighbors if they have any surveilence footage of people casing the 
area.
Good luck getting your bikes back and I hope they get the Bast$%^&*s.

Also PDXers should keep an eye out.  One MO is to steal in a large metro 
area & pawn in another metro area.

You should post the bikes info on bikeindex.org asap. I believe if you
do, then it'll go out on https://twitter.com/stolenbikessea, too.
