One of our favorite neighborhood bartenders recently suffered the misfortune of having his bicycle as well as those of some of his neighbors stolen from their garage in the wee hours of the morning today. What makes the situation even shittier is that it wasn’t even their fault:
Early this morning, my neighbor left his key in our garage door and all of our bikes were stolen. Police report has been filed and we do have insurance but I’d really like to get my bikes back.
- Mission Bicycle Valencia 53cm Frame matte black with Red Anodized B43 Rims, Paul Crank and distinctive Red saddle with white polka dots and upside-down white riser bars.
- Motobecane (naked) 50cm yellow frame with bronze rims and Coaster brake. Yellow addle, 6″ riser bars and basket
- Giant OCR Two 50cm – New soma seat, cinelli stem & drop bars.
Forgetting your key in the lock (or dropping it right in front of your door) is something I ALWAYS worry about accidentally doing, so I know how crappy this must seem. Hopefully someone will spot these before it’s too late! Let them know if you discover anything here.
Update from the owner!
I should add that a neighbor dropped the key while fixing a blown fuse in the middle of the night and at least two of the bikes were locked (there were 7 bikes stolen total).
We’re checking security tapes at the end of the street to try and get an id on the vehicle or its plate.
And yes, that middle bike is hideous by design… it’s my beater bike and I made it stick out like a sore thumb specifically so it wouldn’t get nicked. Oh well.
Also stolen:
- 1012 Cannondale CAAD10 white with red and black accents
- 2008 EAI Bareknuckle green with red Chris King headset
- Masi Special Fixed – metallic blue/green with Rev gold deep V wheelset
Those fixies are HIDEOUS!
Isn’t that a tautology?
Only if you think it is.
Then… Yes. Yes, it is.
Somebody got a thesaurus for Christmas.
Someone forgot to graduate high school.
Attention all units, please be on the lookout for Grimace, Ronald McDonald, and the Hamburgler.
Hamburglar.
There’s no way the Hamburgler could have stolen all those bikes alone, he definitley had accomplaces.
Hey Paul, be part of the solution shitfuck

That sucks balls. Sorry, and I will be looking out – I have no problem knocking a sucker out. Suckers who bother making quippy little snipes (DOCKTOR) can suck balls AND get knocked out.
Wait, is that consecutively or concurrently?!
Please, please, just stop. We get it. You don’t like a thing. Congratulations on your opinion. Now just let a thread go by. Please.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
You think your comments are interesting or amusing or have a point of view, but they are a bore.
I’m sure you believe that.
I’m just curious – how were the two bikes locked? It sounds odd that a thief would not be satisfied with five bikes, and would stick around to cut the locks of two more…
That 1012 Cannondale predates the Battle of Hastings.
You don’t know shit about Harold II and are everything that’s wrong with the Mission!
A few years back, my wife and I had both our bikes stolen while we were having a Sunday lunchtime drink at Broadway Market. They were out of our sight for no more than a minute, that was enough time for the thieves to cut both locks, load them into a van and drive off.

ooh, sorry for your loss, it must be serious mistake whether you forgot to lock the door but it helped your neighbors to steal all of your precious bikes.
