Theft description: It was on my front porch. We were eating dinner and forgot we left it there. In half and hour time it was gone, with the assumed thief’s bike stashed behind my back yard.
If you spot the bike, call the police and notify El Grupo.
sucks dude…dont ever leave your bike out in the bike theft capital of the US…tucson. even for 5 minutes, especially unlocked, and in town. and how do you forget about your bike????thats like leaving your kids in the car on a 100 degree day….
anyways, hope it turns up and the thief dies.
I’m alerted by riders that don’t match the bikes they’re on. It’s just a starting point in the sea of bikes that are out there, but it can be done. I’ve aided in the recovery of two bikes in seven years. One, a few minutes after it was stolen and the other, two years after the fact – a highly identifiable custom that had not been altered.
Wish there was a way to know how many get recovered.
BTW, anyone seen my 280zx? :'(
