Bike Stolen one week ago today

Last week I had my bike stolen from the back of my van.

The thieving bastards tried the drivers door, then bent the top of the door in order to reach the lock and failed. They then simply smashed the drivers side sliding door and lifted the bike out of the back.

They had time to put the front wheel on and ride off. They were seen by numerous people including my neighbour who got a description.

I called 911 and the police arrived in a timely fashion. They took a statement from me and my neighbour.

Today, exactly one week to the minute, in a somewhat desperate move I stood outside, only idiots would show up at the same time. Sure enough they did not show up.

Now I am out $300 for the ICBC insurance deductible and out a perfectly good Cadex mountain bike. The bikes previous owner [a neighbour] also had the bike stolen, yet he recovered it, since it is rather unique looking. I hope to see it on the road at some point in the future and have it back in my possession one day.
