Bike Theft

As a warning, bike thieves are afoot.

Someone, I'm assuming two people, broke into our screened porch on Day St last night between 1am and 8am and stole two mountain bikes. Considering they moved my new hybrid out of the way to get to the two old, scratched up mountain bikes it was leaning against, I'm betting the thieves were either idiots or very savvy, as my bike was the only one that was registered.

Police was notified and unsurprised.

Figured I should tell you guys to keep a vigilant eye out for assholes.

Here have been a bunch of other bike thefts in the neighborhood. Largely of the crappy and untraceable... our bikes did turn up at the Cambridge recycling center...

Either way, its a case for at least a good solid cable lock, and registering you bike somewhere. (poor man's register = write your name and phone on a piece of tyvek and put it in the rim -- so that when it gets a flat, the bike shop sees the note and has the option to call you)
