Had my 2013 giant glory downhill bike stolen over the 4th of july in denver this summer. We were in town watching the outlaws/fireworks game and going to winter park to ride the next morning. When we woke up the half inch cable was clipped and mine and my brother's bikes were gone. Got decent homeowners insurance compensation but fuck whoever did that
Vibes. This was most likely a bike theft ring that did this. There have always been groups that do this, and they are really good at what they do. They would steal bikes off of DU campus in the middle of the day. People thought they were safe with kryptonite locks, but they would spray them with liquid nitrogen, and then after a few seconds they would hit the lock with a hammer and it would shatter.
Personally, I've had tons of shit stolen. Notable things were:
2 Brand new pairs of skis at different times. One out of the locker room by a fellow instructor.
2 coats. One was a new ski parka that someone stole from DU ice arena while I was skating at open skate.
Someone stole my Sorrels at Ravinos (big BC jump party)
Someone tried to steal the wheels off of my GTI while we were at a LODO bar.
Someone used to keep stealing our yard signs during election years. I came up with a system to put Skunk Urine hunting scent inside the sign. While the sign was upright, everything was normal, but when they were laid down flat (like in the back of someones car) the skunk piss would leak out into their carpet. It was oil based, so even if the person figured out where the stuff had spilled, there was no way to clean it. This shit is just nasty, and their car would smell like it forever. Instead of worrying that someone was going to steal my signs, I got up every morning hoping that Christmas came early. Any time I see someone driving around in January with their windows wide open, I wonder whether they may have been an unlucky recipient.
