Bike theft problem hits home


Just realized that my bike got stolen last night. It was unlocked in my backyard (I know, my mistake) and they walked right up, detached the Burley trailer and made off with it.

It was a kooky, unique bike (see photo and specs below) that had sentimental value and good, quality parts. It had front and rear pannier racks, a really bad black spray paint job, BikePortland.org stickers, red handle…oh forget it. Now I know why people feel like this.

I wonder who’s riding it…I wonder how much dope they traded for it. I remember a cop in a recent meeting who said, “to you it might be worth a lot, but to a meth addict it’s just $10 that will buy them a 4 hour high.”

Oh well. Here’s a photo. If you see it around town call 911. No, I’m just kidding…call me at (503) 283-8855. Thanks for looking.
