stolen unicycle recovered: it pays to advertise!
I was not too happy 'the other day' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63983) but I received a phone call saying it had been found! I had placed a couple of strategic ads on lamp posts near the station a week ago and this paid off - more so than reporting it to the police. The finder discovered it when they opened their back gate and it fell in. She mentioned it in passing to her brother, who had seen the advert. She lives in the same road as me, and the unicycle was in a back alley - presumably it took the thief a hundred metres or so to realise they couldn't ride it! The police had mentioned that stolen bikes are usually just 'borrowed' and then dumped near where the thief wants to go, but rarely claimed when recovered. I'm more happy about this than finally getting somewhere permanent to live after 5 months in limbo! P.S. - On the advert I offered a free lesson to the finder... we'll see if she claims it! -- mikepenton Uni - The Unicycle Magazine 'www.unicyclemagazine.com' (http://www.unicyclemagazine.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikepenton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7090 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64241 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Mike, I'm glad to hear that your 29" was recovered. Still planning on purchasing a KH29/geared unicycle now that you have your nimbus back? -- mouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mouse's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14148 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64241 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

That must be a relief Mike. It isn't about just the money value about getting something stolen, we do get attached to our unicycles.
