Q: I went to school and parked my bike in the bike rack. After 6 hours, I came out and my bike was gone! Now, the thing is, I park my bike at the library every single day, outside the store every single day, and at school every single day. That bike was really important to me. Now I have limited mobility and I'm not happy. I loved the bike, too. So do you have any tips on how to find it?
A: Did you record the serial #? Don't plan on your stolen bike still being blue. That frame may now have a not-so-shiny black rattle can paint job now. Some people post ads in the craigslist bike section describing their stolen bikes. Don't know how well this works, but it would seem to make that venue less of a possibility for the thief. Sorry your ride was stolen.
