My bike got stolen, right out of my garage.

I'm surprised it took this long, though. I'm pretty upset that the HOA still hasn't gotten around to figuring out a way of making it so we can keep our bikes secure. Every few months we'll have a little security issue and then there's a lot of "OMG we need to get security cameras and better lighting and a place to lock up bicycles!!!" and other such rattle and hum and then within a month, everyone's forgotten about this.

Stupid thing is that my neighbors all have bikes, many of which are much nicer than mine, but theirs didn't get stolen.

Oh well. I've only ridden it once in the last year and before that I only rode it a few times total anyway. Whoever took it is probably getting more use out of it than I did. Of course it also didn't cost them $750 or whatever. Argh.

If anyone in Seattle (particularly the Ballard area) happens to see a dark-gray Trek 500 with a purple bottle holder, a carbon-black back rack with some orange bungee cords attached to it, and a small tire pump strapped to the center tube, please ask them if they are the rightful owners of their vehicle and if they deserve to be riding it. Or, if they bought it used (more likely), who the hell they bought it from.
