Please keep an eye out for my stolen bike

[Deathcricket]

OK cool this is a good lead. Thanks again man! I have serial numbers for the frame. So if somehow they can see the bike it should be obvious. But who knows, I don't envy the police tracking this down with only a phone number to go on. Plus it could be a huge huge coincidence, but I'm pretty excited about this news. Every other bike classified ad I've seen in the last year was for $2700, $3000, and $3500ish. So the price is really suspect.

The price is certainly suspect.

Any word?

Probably not the first bike this Guy has stole. Trade a few parts between stolen bikes to try and fly under the radar would be commonsense to me.

Dude.... track that thing down! It's gotta be it. Pedals are changed out in 1 minute.

[Iceaxe]

WTF are the cops doing? They should be all over this. You've already done half their work for them.

[Deathcricket]

No word yet! My fear is the phone is like a disposable one you buy at 7/11 and they can't track it down. I have to go in and get a police report on Monday, so hopefully the dude will give me an update then. I passed the info to them, printed out all the stuff I could find. Both ads on mobile ksl and regular, etc.... Will post as more comes down the pipes, hehe.... Really excited this is a good lead......

Googling the phone number from the ad links to a software company in American Fork, same first name from the ad. I'll leave it at that given the presumption of innocence. Legit phone number though.

Hope you get your bike back.

Here's another one off Craigslist for $1,800. What city was yours stolen from?

Saint George/Santa Clara area is where I live....

Aww man, I guess my bike isn't as rare as I hoped....

And I totally agree innocent until proven guilty. How the heck are people selling carbon fiber bikes this cheap???? Looks like I will be buying used next time also. Sheesh! this one I can clearly see the area that was scratched on my bike in the 3rd picture and it looks clean. So unless he photoshoped it, its not mine. Also different handgrips, pedals, and front handlebars, and matching tires. Where as mine has a new specialized on front and cannondale on back with a lot of wear.

Getting a lot of help though on this thread, I really really really appreciate it guys. I will at least print this one out also, not sure how invasive it is to just have a police look at the serial and leave. No accusations made, hehe.

[Deathcricket]

Just got done talking to officer... It's a bust on both. they got the serial #'s and they don't match, they were definitely legit sales. But you guys totally rock for helping me! Thanks so much for the help.

One a side note this is encouraging though, seems replacing my bike is going to be about half the cost I thought it was, those suckers went cheap. So there is some comfort in that.

[Bootboy]

Bummer man. We'll keep an eye out still. I can't afford to replace my bike so I cant imagine having it stolen.
