Default Bye Bye Bike...

Hey guys,

so this morning my bike transformed for this:




to this:




I had it parked on my block; right next to a harley too. Woke up to find an empty spot to where it used to be. Pretty ****ty morning looking at how there is nothing i can do about it now.

If you live in a city and leave your bike in the street, at least get a cheap alarm guys; it could really save you a lot of money and sadness. I had it parked right outside my apartment where i can see it clearly from my window. I'm guessing they pulled up with a van, picked it up and threw it in.

It really really sucks that now all i have is a piece of paper saying my bike was stolen.



I'm gonna miss you my yellow chariot...

Ouch dude. Sorry to hear. Overnight, you gotta lock them down. May sleep thru the alarm. If I had to leave mine on the street, there's a nice telephone right in front of my apartment it'd be chained to. Even with the alarm

This is truly sad. I hope they find your bike and you can do charges against them. Keep a eye on ebay for parts and craigslist.

As an owner who's had a bike stolen & another attempted stolen, I feel your pain. Sorry it happened to you.

Without comprehensive, nothing happens. Comprehensive covers fire / theft / flood / acts of God.

If he had comprehensive, the insurance company would wait a bit to see if it was recovered and then cut him a check for the fair market value.
