stolen bike - college ave

[eatabananaortwo.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone

My friend had her bike stolen last night from her front porch, and she doesn't know what to do
She lives on College Ave and she thought it was a safe street...
The poor thing is kinda frantic, and I thought I'd help her out by posting this here.
This is what her bike looks like. It's a brand new purple Schwinn ranger. She already had a bike and a car stolen before, and she's getting kinda bitter about this area... :(

What should she do at this point???
Thanks

The funny thing is that, her roommate's UNLOCKED bike was right next to hers. And they didn't even touch that bike! They just took my friend's bike and a helmet.

stealing plant story is making me so sad.

Her roommate's bike is probably junky, I'll bet.

that sucks for your friend. i got my seat and wheel stolen within the past week after years of nothing like that ever happening. i leave my bike inside now, b/c i don't want to keep replacing parts. really sorry this happened.

I know!!! I feel really bad for her too. She's not in a situation to replace her bike either... So she'll be without her bike for a while :(

When they broke into our porch they stole two old crappy mountain bikes that belonged to my boyfriend and his brother. They left my brand new hybrid alone.

It's probably dependent on ease of resale.
