My bike was stolen...fack!

My daily commuter was stolen today right in the heart of the financial district. A 1989 Wicked Fat Chance that has been with me my whole adult life, longer than my wife, kids and house. I was told by a cop that he had never seen a case where a bike was stolen that the wheel was locked seperately...so that's what I did and the effing thief cut the lock, took the bike (less the front wheell) and walked off with it. I am in a deep funk

Some crack-head boosts my bike for a fix, $50 for him, priceless for me....I would have rather been rolled for a couple hundred bucks rather than lose that bike.

This sucks.

It was me.

Nice banana seat. Bitch.



Replete with pink track suit.

As a fellow cyclist, I empathize. Equip your next bike with booby traps.

Or mooby traps... as the case may be.

Come now, we all know he rides without a seat.

Here is a picture of his bike in question.


quit whining and steal one back, its the only way to go...

Why did you own a bicycle?

I have a mint 80's Bianchi, but it's priceless to me so I wouldn't think of selling it.

CBDB, sorry about the theft.

Toronto's.

Bike was locked with a cable lock (remember the front wheel was locked elsewhere with a u-lock) and by the entrance to Jump restaurant on Wellington...which is a very busy area for both car and foot traffic. Guy's got balls.

I had my seat and post stolen from the same lock-up. Saddle was an old Brooks that was nicely broken in, but had sat out in a couple of rainstorms, so it was a little sagged. Still, it was the first item I have ever had stolen in over 15 years of cycle commuting. That spot does seem to get get hit quite often, as others I know have had bikes stolen from there.

Really shitty about the Fat Chance - always hurts to lose a ride that you really loved. And like you said, the ratfink that stole it will never, ever enjoy it as much as you did.

Sorry to hear it. I can sympathize, as mine was stolen a couple weeks ago.

Sorry to hear that. I had my bike cables cut by a would-be thief in college.

Back then I used two Krypto U-locks to secure the back and front wheels of my Trek mtb, and removed the seat. It was locked down fairly well, and there wasn't really anything to steal. One day I come out and somebody had cut all the cables (brakes, shifters). I guess they couldn't steal the bike so they decided to vandalize it instead.
