Some Bike @ $2300. I bet whoever stole it will never ride it anywhere. Maybe it will turn up at a local pawn shop, ; )

Our homeless? Like in the south where they say our N–—s?
I don't think so.
It was an opportunistic crime, someone came by saw it just sitting there and took it. Maybe someone who just wanted to get home and ditched it a block away.
It was took somewhere between one in the morning and almost ten?
I hate to be mean but you have got to keep a closer watch on your things than that.

Irish, I can't believe that you think it is OK for someone to steal a bike so they can get home and ditch it a couple blocks away just because the owner wasn't watching it!
Is that true?

I agree with Irish, it is indeed every man's right to steal a bike so they can get home and ditch it a couple blocks away just because the owner wasn't watching it.
The owner should be held fully accountable for the police work involved in tracking down his bike.
And for buying a $2300 bicycle.

Too bad trunk monkeys are not offered as optional equipment on bikes.

To those who are bagging on the victim—especially jehovah bob~~ wtf??? The article doesn't say whether the bike was locked or not. I would assume that it was, with it's being a valuable bike. But even if it wasn't, the owner may have been too trusting, but that doesn't mean he “deserved” a theft.
My daughter lived at Naismith last year. Her 2 bikes were her only transportation to classes, her 2 jobs, and everywhere else she went. She kept the really good one in her room. The $800 one, which she had extensively customized, was attached with a sophisticated lock to the bike rack outside the building.
Late in the spring semester, some A$$h0le stole her bike—leaving all the others—from the rack. They must've had professional tools to disable the kind of lock she used. The police didn't seem overly interested in working the case—maybe because they knew the futility of it.
I think the bike was probably out of Lawrence within hours of the theft. My kid made the rounds of pawn shops & such—and kept an eye peeled wherever she went—until August, when she left Lawrence for her next adventure.
Anyway, thieves are soulless scum. And if you're defending them, blaming the victim, and/or assuming that someone “deserves” to be ripped off because they have worked hard and bought something nice for themselves, you are scum, too.
