Thieves suck

[kieefer]

Don't know what good it will do but I thought I'd mention this.

Took my bicycle to Eastside Bike shop to have new cables put on because I installed a new higher handlebar. Picked it up around 430pm.
I called in an order at Calyspo Cafe at Gartland Ave. and Gallatin pike and went in to pick it up, maybe 5 minutes.
I come back out to find my bike stolen out of the back of my truck.

Yea, I should have locked it up.

Anyway, I rode around hoping to find the azzhole riding it away but no luck.

It was a vintage ProFlex 856, red with new black handlebars and cables on it. No idea if it will show up at a pawn shop or on CL. I called the bike shop to let them know since they have some connections and they will keep a lookout.

Thought I'd mention it here since we have some law enforcers on the beat in this area.

Really pissed me off.

sorry bud. That blows.

That sucks hard.

I once had my HU stolen out of my car in the time it took me to walk in my front door, grab my bookbag, and walk back out. Less than two minutes.

Contact LE and file a report with the serial number. Most major departments have a pawn shop detail.

Thanks, i'll be looking for my receipt tomorrow with the serial # on it. Might be a chance I can find it even though I bought it like 15years ago. That's really my only option to prove that it's mine, IF it shows up.

Any chance the bike shop annotated the serial number while it was in for work?

Any security cams at the cafe?

No, they don't.

Since I changed the bars and it being a old, no longer made mountain bike it's basically a one of a kind, should be easy to spot.
