Anyone seen my bike????

[gingernoname.livejournal.com]

Missing from my basement!!!

Exhibit A:  One blue Specialized Hardrock mountain bike sitting snugly in my basement.

Exhibit B:  Workmen coming and going.  New neighbors moving in.  Basement open.

Exhibit C:  A sad empty spot where One blue Specialized Hardrock mountain bike used to belong.

Exhibit D:  The old ratty BMX pedals on One blue Specialized Hardrock mountain bike that keep my feet secure.

Exhibit E:  Rack over the back tire of One blue Specialized Hardrock mountain bike to secure my belongings.

.......

Exhibit Q:  a scale-model of the entire basement! X marks the scene of the crime. These arrows here show the exact position of the sun at the hour of the crime. Jupiter was aligned with Pluto! The moon was in the seventh...

THERE WILL BE A REWARD FOR THE SAFE RESCUE OF MY BELOVED BIKE FROM FRANCIS!!!!

Please e-mail me here or at ginger_carver@yahoo.com  if you have seen anything matching this description.  I'm a poor broke student and can't afford to replace my beloved bike.

Thanks.

I haven't seen your bike, but I rate this best stolen bike post ever!

Not sure if this was it because I was just driving by, but there was a random bike on the corner of North Street and Capen Street about an hour and a half ago. It definitely wasn't locked up...

Thanks for the tip. I just drove by and sadly, it's not my bike. :(

Sorry :-( Hope it turns up soon!

I'm sorry you lost your bike, but who is Francis?

Francis:


The evidence:

Francis looks like a non-British Mr. Bean.

Or is he British too?

Not sure this helps but...

If it was taken by someone looking to sell it for $, try the local re-sale shops. Online Sales on Boston Ave in Medford (just before route 16), buys things from anyone with an ID who claims to own the item. I'm not sure if they take bikes or not. Try bike shops who buy or sell used bikes. I believe these places are required to hold the item for 15 or 30 days before re-selling it. Much of the small-time crime around Somerville/Medford right now is kids who need some quick $ for drugs. Good Luck.
By the way, did your descriptions of the crime scene include pictures? If so, I couldn't view them, but very creative anyway.
