They expect me to believe the parking garage didn’t have any sort of video surveillance?
Really?
Sorry but a $10,000 bike would share the room with me. NOT a smart move leaving it in the parking garage, maybe not smart enough to own a bike that expensive.
Perfect!!!
Thank You
A comedian back in the 80’s was saying that anyone that bought a $10k bottle of wine deserved to come home one evening and discover his teenagers made “spritzers” of it and drank it with friends.
who in the world left a $10,000 bike in the back of a truck? i am disgusted by people who steal from others... how dare they... but in this case, i think it was deserved... que idiota!
I paid 10,500 for my buick century
In my experience, most victims have allowed themselves to become victims. Who here would leave anything worth $10,000 in the back of a pickup? I don’t care how secure the garage looked. Put the bike in the cab of the truck. Would you leave that much cash in the bed of a truck?
Probably stolen by an obama supporter — maybe even one of his sons.
a $5 can of spraypaint will have it looking like a mountain bike from WalMart in no time at all
I’m sure the thief needed $ 50.00 bucks more than the Pinko needed a 10K bicycle.

If you ride several thousand miles per year, you can appreciate a high quality carbon fibre bike with top of the line components. It is all about the experience. Aerodynamics, handling, weight, acceleration, predictability, etc.
Sure for some it is about bragging rights and having the latest and greatest, but for for this rider, the difference is real!
$2000 is my absolute breaking point. I bought a Surly Long Haul Trucker off a guy on Craigslist for $950 and am a happy camper. It’s amazing how expensive bikes can be!
I can sypathize — I have an expensive mountain bike. Not $10k mind you, but expensive enough. This bike actually is rare enough that the mountain bike community will assist in keeping an eye out for it. I’d hit up all the local mountain bike forums for everyone to keep an eye out on the trails.
Either that, or someone needed a DUI cruiser and it will be parked at the local bar.
If I had a bike even half that price, you’d better believe it would not be left unprotected like that.
I just don’t see 10k worth of bike there. I ride about 100 miles per week on my mountain bike, and I like to drool down at the bike shop as much as the next guy. But it seems like there’s a diminishing return on bicycles after you get over about 3k.
Looks like a Scott Genius model. Clearly the owner was not.
