I was forwarded this craigslist posting by two of our readers. What makes it interesting is that it has a couple surveillance camera photos of the thieves in action to back it up. Read on for the details:

My 2007 Red Trek 1500SL was stolen SUNDAY morning, August 23rd, around 10:40am. It was locked up in a covered/partially closed parking lot on the corner of South Congress and Annie. Below I have attached a picture of my bike and pictures of the TWO THIEVES.

My bike is a 2007 Red Trek 1500SL with:
Shimano 105 Components
Cane Creek Brakes
Bontrager wheels
and notably has a assembled by sticker from a bike shop called "Spokes" located in Pennsylvania

Please note:
The thief on the right was wearing an orange UT tshirt. Has a backpack and a pipe.
The thief on the left was wearing a SF Giants baseball cap.

Please contact me if you have any information you can give. I, ofcourse, would love to have my bike returned to me, but I also want these two guys caught.
Thank you.

Shit like this is why I always urge people to keep their bikes inside their apartment or house if at all possible. The cover of night and an enclosed garage is JUST what a thief needs to defeat any bicycle locking mechanism. With the right tools and a bit of time even a decent ULock can be pried open by a determined thief. Be careful out there, folks.

Home security should be important to everyone whether you live in a house or an apartment. Knowing your home is protected provides peace of mind both when you are away and when you are home. wireless home security systems

anyone know the method/lock that was broken... we need to be one step ahead of these fuckers

I don't, though the fact that one of the thieves was carrying a length of pipe makes me think they pried open a U-Lock.

Jay and Silent Bob. I'd bet they're hanging around outside Vulcan, selling drugs and hassling customers. Seriously, though, I hope someone recognizes them and turns their worthless asses in.
