Check the bike rack at the Salvation Army! My bike was stolen so I decided to scope out the Salvation Army to see if someone that stayed there had stolen it. Bingo. Got my $600 dollar bike back.

Jayhawk Pawn & Jewelry is another great spot for finding stolen items.

...only assuming that the bike in question had not been modified (lights, pump, bottles, bags, etc.).

is he really sure that it was taken as I have locked my bike up a few times, had a few beers and could not remember where I had locked it up at or thought I locked it up at a place I didn't. Should have checked the town Sunday morning for his bike (or Santa came early for someone)

The door guy @ Louises said a group of kids walked past the bike...then not a minute later one came running back by with a black ski mask on, jumped on the bike and took off. Damn kids.

A grown man with a $1,000 bicycle?
Unless you're Lance Armstrong, wouldn't a $250 bicycle be a more prudent choice?

Just go to Sunflower Bike and take a look at what $250 will get you.

How else are they supposed to navigate all the mountains in Kansas?

In college towns both the city police and campus police departments should annually operate anti-bike theft sting operations. Set up the surveillance cameras and a chase group, then as bait put out a couple of expensive bikes (equipped with signal transponders, etc.) then snatch these thieves in the act.
If this were done I think after just a couple of arrests the rate of bike thefts would drop off bigtime. And it's worth spending police time doing this, too; some of the high-end bikes used by folks in college towns cost upwards of $2,500 or more. Bike theft is bigtime theft. And if by chance a sting leads to a bike theft ring resulting in multiple felony arrests and convictions, hey, so much the better.

I've felt this pain TWICE this past year. Locking your bike outside doesn't always work. When I take my bike downtown, I never let it leave my sight., even locked up. When at home, I now lock it up INSIDE. I trust the people I live with, but if we ever get robbed (which seems to be happening quite frequently to those living in the downtown area) the thieves won't be taking my bike.
