Taken from my van early this morning. Also lost a bunch of clothing and my Camelbak, along with its contents, tools, etc. I am startled, saddened, and pissed. I'm also dumb as a rock since I forgot to lock the van last night.

 

[Sandro]

Dammit, this makes me angry. I was always pleased when a picture of the Heckler popped up.

Find that bike monkeys, we can't let JBP go full fatbike.

 

[Muddy]

Sheeit sorry man! Never want to hear things like that, but will keep an ear to the ground.

Or full enduro...

 

[Da Peach]

That sucks. My commuter got ripped off yesterday.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Fucking thieves.

Full enduro now, though...

 

[jstuhlman]

that's terrible. sorry jbp

there's only like 10 other people in the state though, right? so...it should turn up soon.

i'm sure you're monitoring CL, ebay, regional pawn shops, etc...

 

[jdcamb]

They will come back. You need to get a game camera. Go to the courthouse. Find out who has been arrested for pills, possession of stolen property, or burglary in your zip code. Casually observe them for a while. Skulk around your property for a few days at night. .

[Quo Fan]

That sucks John. Hope you get it returned, and the thieves get karma'd.

Wull, my first two candidates would be a current Heckler or a Nomad. I like the simplicity of single pivot suspensions and am not quite sure why I'm considering the latter. I don't want crabon, do want the 2015 XT group, would like to stick with the Mavic 823 rims.

My 659 feels cold when I first strap it on...

 

[Beef Supreme]

The joke's on them. That bike doesn't even have boost 148.

In all seriousness, paying a deductible is usually worthwhile since you get a bike with all fresh parts.

In more important matters, where/how/who do I have to kill to get a RM sticker?



(Sorry to hear John...may Gaia rain down swarms of rabid locusts whose buzzing sounds like a Myley Cyrus song on the thief...)

 

[MMike]

I'll sell you my 2003 (2004? hmmm...I think 2003) Heckler for one hundred MILLION dollars. Her name is Beyoncé

You're lucky McClaren/Honda qualified top 10 at Bahrain. Did you read the part where he said his Beloved bike was stolen?

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

That sucks
Hope you get yer bike back along with five pounds of the thief's flesh.

 

[StiHacka]

Sorry to hear, JBP. I did not think such atrocities were happening in the rainbow state of Vermont.

See if you can find yourself a nice little used SC Butcher. Those things are built like a tank and the APP is IMO an improvement over the Heckler (yet not as complicated as VPP bikes).

 

[eric strt6]

Sucks John, I went through that a few years back. Replacement bike is Ok but not a good a fit as the one I had stolen. Hope the thief gets a good beat down by someone

What one are you looking for? The logo, or Ridemonkey.com? Might be able to hook up a fellow wing-nut.

 

[boostindoubles]

Thieving shits!

There is hope. My good friend had the cable lock cut off his commuter about two weeks ago. Two nights ago he spotted it in a shady place surrounded by shady dudes, some who were flashing heat. He staked it out for hours and finally was able to wave down some poe. They walked in and grabbed it for Dan, reuniting him with his stolen ride.

 

[kidwoo]

insurance?


I hope they try to smoke out of it. There's no way all that sweat from 8 years is good for you.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I think my home insurance might cover it, we'll find out. As Eric noted above, after some years one manages to get a bike dialed in to their preferences, and I miss it. I guess I'm going to hit some bike shops starting tomorrow and actually look at what they have on the floor.

I've got a bunch of "RIDEMONKEY.COM" stickers. The monkey heads are scarce now but I've got the templates and we could obviously print up a new batch given enough interest.

JBP; that f'ing blows. Hope the assholes get hit by a bus on the way home.

 

[jstuhlman]

I guess all plans are different, but my insurance fully covered me years ago when someone stole my bike off my car at work.

Have a couple friends who love their Bronsons, a couple others who love their Nomads.

At least you get to shop for a new bike, which is fun.

 

[Adventurous]

That sucks. . Sorry to hear about it. Maybe set out bear traps so you can hand over the culprit mostly intact to the police?

 

[Nick]

A buddy broke his 2008ish Heckler last year, and SC actually replaced it under warranty with a new version which is 27.5. Really nice.

Is mavic making the 823 in a 27.5 ??

 

[johnbryanpeters]

I don't know. I plan to visit some bike shops tomorrow.

 

[MMike]

Ok fine.....99 million dollars

 

[maddog17]

i know in Mass. that homeowners insurance covers stuff stolen from your car. which makes no sense but that Mass. for ya. found out the hard way when my car was stolen with all my hockey gear in it.

 

[ICEBALL585]

That really sucks. Was the van parked at home when it was broken into?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Yup. Talking to insurance company now.

JBP was kind enough to donate his RM DH jersey to me, but I lack stickers. What do I need to do to get a few pimptastic decals?

JBP, I am sorry to hear this. I hate thieves and I hate living in a world where I have to lock up all my good crap.

PM me an address to send them to.

Same for anyone that wants a few of the RIDEMONKEY.COM stickers. While supplies last

 

[Toshi]

One's vehicle doesn't even need to be parked at home for homeowners/renters insurance to cover it, iirc. Good luck in recovering or replacing it, JBP. Did you try searching Craigslist in local regions?

Sorry to hear about this, JBP. It truly sucks. Best of luck on its safe return.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Waffling between a Santa Cruz Bronson and an Intense Tracer...

Get the Bronson. And the waffles.

Considering your non-plastic trail-bike requirement, what about the Turner Burner? Granted I'm a big Turner fan, but they're killer bikes and those frames are pretty reasonably priced these days.

fucking scumbags will lead a life of misery im sure.
Prolly doesn't really help you out but karma is a bitch.
