Bike Stolen? Get It Back! - If you're unlucky
enough to have a bike stolen, don't assume it's gone for good. As long as you can
identify the bike (you did record the serial number, didn't you?) and you're willing
to do a little leg work, there's a chance of recovery. Immediately prepare a flyer
with a photo and description of your bike. Include any details that make identification
easier such as special accessories or markings on the bike. Post these flyers on
telephone poles, on community bulletin boards, at colleges, by bus stops, in short,
everywhere and anywhere. Also, hand them to all your friends and let us know as
soon as possible so we can be on the alert, too (sometimes thieves think they can
sell stolen bikes to bike shops and we're always on the lookout). It may seem hopeless,
but you have a reasonable chance of getting the bike back if you act fast and don't
give up. Good luck!
