Hi,
My bike was stolen at 8:25pm on Friday August 4 in downtown Salt Lake City next to Squatters. It was locked to the roof of my car. The thief used bolt cutter to break the lock. It is a very distinctive bike. Here is the description-

2004- Santa Cruz VP-Free - Polished Frame- Large
888 Marizocchi forks, with GO-RIDE LOW RIDER CROWNS
e-Thirteen DLS chain guard and ring protector. Truvative cranks. DX pedals.
new Nokian Jr. 2.6 tires in the front. Michelin 2.8 'tubeless' tire in the rear(which was flat at the time the bike was stolen.)

If you see this bike please call the police and contact edit: BIKE FOUND!!

Thanks!

Jeebus, dude. Wow. I hope you find the sumnabitch and castrate him.

I know your pain mang. But be vigilant. My stolen Yeti showed up about six weeks later.

**Danno** · 08-07-2006, 04:21 PM

sorry mang. check ebay, post on craigs list, and check there regularly...

**yentna** · 08-07-2006, 04:39 PM

Damn, that's aweful! Unfortunatly even if you lock them, theives won't be stopped. Fuckers.

I've had two bikes stolen in years past, one worth $3 and not locked, the other worth, well, a bit more, and locked TO MY BALCONY! Asshole climbed up, cut the lock, and took the bike.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled and definately check all the listings hourly. GOOD LUCK!

Fucking awesome! I hope you found him while riding it and beat him over the head with it after you took it back.

DisArray · 08-12-2006, 02:38 PM

It's a long involved story, I don't have time to tell it all right now, but maybe, later this weekend.

**pechelman** · 08-12-2006, 02:43 PM

No kidding. If it does i'm finding him to beat him with his own recovered bike.

**Telenater** · 08-12-2006, 06:14 PM

I respectfully suggest that the only acceptible excuse for keeping us hanging like this is that he's out riding the recovered bike.

Any other excuse is no excuse.

**InspectorGadget** · 08-12-2006, 11:07 PM

The weekend is damn near half over, tell us the story already.

I apologize, I need to finish talking with the detective before I tell my story. Needless to say, the perpetrators are in jail, for much more than stealing my bike.
