Not again! I've posted on this blog previously about how the bike rack behind my office building has become a depository for what appear to be stolen bikes. First there was the Schwinn, which has languished at the bike rack, unlocked, for over a year. Then there was that cute little rascal, the Huffy, which appeared at the bike rack for less than 24 hours and then disappeared.
This morning, I was horrified to find this Rocky Mountain Soul leaning, unlocked, on the bike rack. What troubles me most is that this time it looks like the thief nabbed a halfway decent bike (emphasis on the "halfway"). Perhaps the thief is starting to go after higher-grade booty. And if that's the case, chances are the thief won't be satisfied until he or she has tasted some real high-end componentry. Who knows. Maybe I'll show up some morning in the not-too-distant future and find one of Lance Armstrong's time-trial bikes sitting there at the bike rack. Well, let me tell you Mr./Ms. Bike Thief, you are hereby warned that just like Lance was able to recover his stolen bike with the help of his 140,000 Twitter followers, so too this mighty blog, with its readership now numbering in the double digits (when I include people I'm related to), will help reunite this poor frightened and lost Rocky Mountain Soul with its rightful owner.
what is going on over there? so many stolen bikes? especially a rocky mountain? wow!

In all fairness, I don't know for certain that any of these bikes are stolen. However, they show up at weird hours, never locked to anything, and then disappear, never to be seen at the rack again.
