My bike was stollen off my porch on december 1st... I am not living at home currently and UPS dropped off the bike on my moms porch and she was at work so someone decided to take my never used bike. I bought the Gemini from Jeff Brines and was so excited about it but now i don't know what is going to happen... I was so EXCITED... WC boxxers, all the nice stuff... but some asshole thought it would be fun to piss people off....!
Dirty ****ers!

I know none of you live in Amarillo Texas so don't think you will see it in your home town.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Look into your moms home owner insurance, it should cover it.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

ill ask

 

[Sir_Crackien]

ups should cover it also

they should make sure an item like that is in someones hands and not on a prouch

 

[freeriding101]

that sucks a nut, probly some crack head that was having withdrawls

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

they are... my mom just needs the recipts for value from Jeff Brines before we can do anything? Does anyone know someone else that knows Jeff from the Bike Source Cannondale team? I think his name might be Brian but not to sure.

 

[Curb Hucker]

file a claim with UPS and the Insurance company, double your money

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

we are gunna file the claim and talk to one of jeffs friends and get the same bike after we file the claim

 

[mack]

WOAH WTF!? your BRAND NEW RIDE GOT JACKED? the gemini? thats twisted, bad luck man.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

yeppp....well i would not call it brand new but im still incredibly pissed!!! **** like this happens to me... even though im not even home. Hopfully the other gemini is still up for grabs and if it is... once i get the insurance money i will hopfully end up with it.

 

[mack]

i told you, make BCD make you a new ride.

 

[buildyourown]

If you can, make UPS pick up the tab. If you put it on the home owner's policy, your mom's rates will go up.
Though, you probably don't really care since you don't pay the premiums.

Anyways, go through UPS if you can

 

[neversummersnow]

Yeah, this sucks, especially cause its finals time for me so NO time for other stuff.

FYI, UPS is probably going to do NOTHING. After the package is delivered they are no longer liable. Price, your mom NEEDS TO CALL THE POLICE, file a claim and the have homeowners cover it!

I'll get that invoice to you ASAP

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

thanks jeff... ill call my mom in about 30 min once the damn phones turn back on... i called the LBS and told them just to keep an eye out... hey and jeff. u said u had a friend with the same gemini right? if so pm me or get on AIM

I may not be the one paying for it but i feel the wrath of it when bills need to be payed!!

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

i told you, make BCD make you a new ride.

I got that bike for less than a BCD frame cost!!

 

[scroungydog]

i had an object stolen off my porch that ups delivered. ups replaced the cost of the item, no they are not liable once they leave it on the porch but they can only leave without a signiture if you or sender has ok'd it. file a claim with the copy of the invoice and you should be good to go. just my 2cents

[ThePriceSeliger]

Well if we found out about it earlyer we might of been able to track it down but its been almost a week so there is no hope now unless the theif is so stupid to take it to the LBS and try to get someone to build it up. I doubt the person that stole it even knew what quality bike they were gunna get. We waited to long and i cant get a hold of my mom to tell her ups prolly wont do anything. So now i have to wait...

 

[willyboy8576]

****in A man **** like that sucks. never happend to me (knock on wood) but still sucks. jew man when i get back in town we will go on a mission tryin to find it and then beat this **** out of the guy that stole it!

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

yeah we will... well my mommy talked to her insurance company and they are covering i think 1000 and ups is covering i think a lil more than 1000 so we are set. I have talked to Justin at Bike Source and i am almost hooked up with a new bike so i am so happy to have it before chirstmas break! Everything is working out great and when i get home im gunna look for the original one. here is a pic of it if anyone in Amarillo sees it.

 

[OGRipper]

Too bad, sweet bike. If a signature was required and they didn't get one, UPS should be responsible, but if it was specified that "no signature is required" the insurance may be your only bet. If the cannondale dude sent it "no sig required" that's not too bright...

 

[TheInedibleHulk]

Jeffs bike sucked anyway, you shouda bought mine.

Sorry to hear that dude, keep on the insurance's ass about it, get your moneys worth out of those bastards.

EDIT: I should read whole threads before replying.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

haha yeah Jeffs bike sucked :nuts: lol... yeah reading the thread would help

 

[TheInedibleHulk]

Ya know... that 2000 bucks would just about get you mine.... hehe spam.

 

[heikkihall]

I think its UPS's fault if they leave something on the porch and it gets jacked. Keep on them.

 

[caputo1989]

the police probobly wont do any thing either. if u see the guy riding it get a gun and shooot his ^&&.
your moms insurance should do the trick.

:nuts:

Yeah, that sux. But look on the bright side now you will get a brand new bike..which is even better. My buddy had a UPS package taken because the UPS guy wasn't too smart and left the package on the porch even though it required a signature. Well long story short..he got his $5000.00 claim covered by UPS. That's the whole point of having insurance and signature...it may cost extra but better to have it n not need it than to need it n not have it.

Good luck..sounds like it's all good and youll end up with a new rig.

 

[neversummersnow]

I am the seller.

It is the seller's responsibility to add any extra insurance or signature. The only way I'd consider myself liable in any way shape or form is if the packing was done poorly and parts where damaged that way.

Personally, I've never had a signature required for anything sent to me and depending on who's sending it I may or may not add the insurance.

All and all the situation sucks. Hopefully we'll come to some sort of acceptable solution..

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

we got a solution and in NO WAY AT ALL i am not blamming you Jeff... Not at all... It was just really ****ty luck!

 

[Langer]

I have delt with ups on dozens of claims when I used to work at a UPS store. Their policy is "driver discretion". If there hasnt been any problems with theft in the paticular area they will leave it on door step, on side of house, in car port, or even back door. There was a couple of instances were they left high priced items on door steps and they were stolen. UPS would usually pay all the claims, but you would have to twist their arm off.

 

[Edster1000]

Damn dude that sucks, Im gonna have to lock my bikes now becuase I live 2 houses away from price seliger.

And price if i drive by a dude on a jemini ill get out beat the hell out of him. Oh and you may wanna check extreme bike shop, becuase they have been getting alot of stolen bikes that the dumb asses dont know how to put together. If they know its yours or that yours was stolen theyd call the cops when they come in with it. I know it sounds crazy but when I was in there 2 weeks ago this same thing happened, and chris said it had happened like 3 times that month.
Good Luck

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

WELL WELL WELL!!!! Yall arnt gunna beleive it!!! My trashy neighbors took it!!! haha we found it!!!! i thought there was no chance but we got IT!!!!! hahahahaha!!!!!!! The box is pretty torn up but my mom said all the parts are in there!!! i have never been so happy!!! i cant beleive it!!!

 

[bizutch]

you have to file a police report for any insurance claim. You have to call the Sherriff's Dept. immediately. No matter who covers it they HAVE TO HAVE A POLICE REPORT! THat's the first call.

 

[Edster1000]

ha thats awesome price Im glad to know that there isn't a bike thief in our neighborhood, I was getting worried about bringing my bikes home for christmas

 

[Curb Hucker]

dont call and drop the claims, free money :evil: oh ya, and go do donuts on your neighbor's lawn, then bleach their trees

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

haha i think all their trees are reuined anyways, and they have no grass!!! maybe FIRE!!!

 

[punkassean]

Dude, that's sooooo sweet that you caught those farkin' a-holes!

I would press charges to the fullest extent of the law!!!

 

[johnbrittain]

price, as a person who has not really had any expierence with this sort of stuff, but i have always wanted to have the chance, charge the ass out of them for as much as you can get, they may be neighbors, but they jacked your ride, and they should have called or left a message the day that they ''picked it up so no one would steal it'' .... all i say is keep your bike, beat the living fvck out of them and get some money in the process, to further your mountain biking adventures, oh yeah, and im glad that you got your bike back.

that is my very personal and biased, if possible, opinion.

UP WITH HOPE, DOWN WITH DOPE!!! (exceptions may occur in cases of myles rockwell and others that will not be menioned, but you know who you are!!, lol)
sorry, i've wanted to say that for a while, i'm done with my worthless remarks now...

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

oh my john u need some help, i think wade boots is in there also just recently... the people with the real trashy yard that live across from me, yeah... they did it... my mom decided to play CSI and ask some questions and she found it over their fence.
