My bike has been stolen today:(

I did buy it this summer. I wasn't very expensive one, but I liked it so
much. I was never leaving it on bike racks. Today for a 1st time I left it
at shopping mall. I locked it. I was there for 20 minutes maybe. I'm coming
back and there is no bike. Who has been down this road, knows what did I
fill. This is horrible experience.
Now I'm writing this notes and my bike is somewhere out there, confused,
calling for help, "where I am, where?"
Geez what I'm writing here. I'm just so sad and angry, and this happened for
me a second time in my life.

My next bike I will never leave on public racks. I swear
Sad jazu.

People, don't believe in bike lock. If they like your bike, they will steal
you. Be careful.

Dude i'm sooooooooo sorry
I had the same thing happen to me three months ago

Sorry to hear about it, Jazu. I know how bad you feel. I've had bikes stolen
5 times. When a bike means a lot to you, it doesn't matter if it is
expensive or cheap: It's like a friend that carries you places on its back,
happy to help, always there for you, not complaining unless you forget to
oil the chain.

I hope that you can find another bike soon, and a big, strong lock! :-)

Thank you Barry. Thank you all guys for your support.
Now I'll ride again my old (from early 1980's) Marin.
Next spring I'll buy a new bike and I will do some changes to my condo
insurance. This is metaphorical lock for your bike (or maybe the only real
one)
Keep on smiling, keep on riding ;-)

I'm sorry to hear that =/

A friend of mine just bought his bike this summer and also had it
stolen. He had it locked on a public rack -- when he first locked it
up, the area had a lot of pedestrians nearby, but by the time he got
back, it was empty -- and the bike was gone.

I used to think it would be fun to run local errands on my spiffy new
bike, but now I won't let it out of my sight. I'm shopping around for a
really cheap bike ... it would still hurt to lose it, but at least the
financial hit wouldn't be so bad.

It's sad that a small percentage of screwed up people can make life hard
for the rest of us, but I guess that's just the way it is.

Hmm.... Can you do that? Will homeowners insurance cover a bike stolen off
property? I have never seen that? Is there anyone who will sell you bike
insurance? With a decent bike going for over $2500, that's actually Grand
Larceny. So, the police would have to file a full report and if the
perpetrator was caught, it's a major offense.

Yup, or certainly in the UK you can, but it is quite expensive.
I insure my house with the Halifax, and my bike is covered whilst on the
property.
They offered I could cover it while it was off the property too, but it
would've cost me more than my car insurance!
Needless to say I didn't bother.

Shop around. I'm in the UK and have a seperate bicycle insurance policy.
It covers my two bikes and my wife's hybrid shopper. New for old and
accidental damage. I pay monthly and it works out at about £15. My road
bike is even covered for competition riding. None of the bikes are
particularly expensive (2 at £300 each and 1 at £500) but I would still hate
to lose one, through theft, accident or otherwise.

Cheers
