johnsnownw Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 They didn't take the motorcycles, but they did steal our bikes. I had a nice Specialized Allez, and my fiance had an older Trek Mountain bike. They used bolt cutters to get passed the combination lock. We'll get about $200 back from the homeowners insurance, but that's only 20% of the cost. I have since gotten a new clasp and stronger lock for the door, and ordered a motion sensor alarm. Asshats!
barkwindjammer Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 A specialised allez, the insurance will be lucky to cover the cost of the seat, post, stem and cassette, thieving b@stards, and the scrote who nicked the bikes isn't much better

I even had an aftermarket racing seat that was stolen along with it. It was a 24 speed, which I didn't want when I bought it, but they gave me a deal I couldn't pass up. That bike was my transportation to and from work when I lived in Chicago...had quite a few memories attached to that bike. Won't be able to afford a new one anytime soon either
Moderator drewpy Posted August 30, 2010 Moderator Posted August 30, 2010 sorry to hear that John, hang the barstewards I'd say
chris66 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 im not sure who are the bigger thieves, the ones that took the bikes or your insurance company
johnsnownw Posted August 30, 2010 Author Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks Drewps, if only. They'll never catch them or get my bike back, sad state of affairs that people can get away with such things. im not sure who are the bigger thieves, the ones that took the bikes or your insurance company Tell me about it, granted we pay little enough per month for the insurance.
johnsnownw Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Never mind about the insurance, my fiance forgot to put me on the policy so I don't get any money back. Fantastic.
