Hey so I guess I shoulda done this a while ago... I kinda forgot.

A friend of mine has been borrowing one of my bikes for about six months. It got stolen on Sunday night/Monday morning around 1am-2am out of his girlfriend's living room. Really, you can't miss it. Its hot pink, think bridgestone njs pink. burn your fucking eyes neon pink. its a 58cm. 1988 raleigh technium pro. No badges or identifiers other than the signature bonded steel-to-aluminum. mismatched wheels and the rear is a suicide setup. bullhorns. miyata grey/white saddle.

I've done ok without it for the last six months, so really, its not the end of the world if i never see it again. Just, keep yr eyes peeled would ya?

love love love,

zac

yeah i've got the serial and some pics on my computer, but its in storage until november sometime. bummer.

do you know what kind of person stole it and what part of town? cause if it's near downtown I can ask the bike theiving bums that hang outside my work to keep an eye out.

FOUND! The bike was ditched in a garage off N Bryant and N Fenwick. Unfortunately, the thief decided to trade my bike, for the Gary Fisher mountain bike that was in the garage. My bike appears to be in good condition. Only the nylon straps are missing. I don't know the model of the Gary Fisher that was stolen, but it is a 15" hardtail in blue, with disc brakes. mad sloping top tube. keep an eye out. Thanks to Portland for getting me my bike back!

thanks! I couldn't be more thrilled. Im gonna work on it for a bit, and then flip it so I can build a road bike, since it's too small for me. Still, it's nice to have back, and will make a good loaner bike in the meantime.

So there are 3 different stolen bikes threads so i am picking this one because it's the most recently commented.
My best friend's bike got stolen today. It's a yellow women's schwinn le tour single speed, a distinguishing characteristic is that it says '77 eugene on the seat tube. She is really broke as a joke so if you see it somewhere you know what to do

oh neat i will let her know. ill tell her to get an account.

Why not call the cops on the bums that sell bikes outside your work? I can't remember how well PDX cops deal with that sort of thing but in Eugene if you walk around campus with bolt cutters and they drive by, they'll straight up tackle you.

I think a group of us should grab him and lock his neck to a pole. Then kick him in the kidney. Fucking tweaker thieving piece of shit.

stoolen

Poopy?

haha. i wrote stoolen on purpose to illustrate how idiots write stolen ads :]

STALIN!

That's a somewhat common way to steal bikes it seems. The MAX is worse...

I keep my hand ON my bike at all times on the MAX.

yesssssss!

one of my buddies bikes just got stolen... he forgot to lock it, but either way, please keep an eye out for the bike.
thanks.

im a dummy and forgot to lock my bike and someone straight jacked it.

12th and taylor near basement bar.

its a blue raleigh with a bit of gold trim here and there because i am mexican.

there is an obama sticker, an andre the giant parody sticker with carina johnson on it instead of andre, and an aztec warrior sticker. again, because im mexican.

im sure whoever snaked it left it after a few blocks because its a crappy bike but i love it and want it back.

ReverendJackson:
