I can provide more specific details on the components if anyone wants them. We'll be keeping our eyes out for them being sold at places like craigs list and ebay. I've also notified a few of the bike shops that buy used bikes. I'm hoping that someone trying to sell the Norcos will send up a red flag. My fear is that they'll be sold to a pawn shop that doesn't check to see if they are stolen. Please let me know if you see anyone selling a bike that sounds similar to one of ours and you think it looks suspicious.
 
They were stolen from our condo parking garage. It's a small building and everyone is good about making sure the doors are kept shut. We were told that apparently kids have been stealing electric garage door openers and trying them around various neighborhoods in Seattle until they get lucky. There wasn't any forced entry so that's as good a guess as any as to how they got in. So far eveyone in the building swears that they made sure the doors were closed last night. Almost everyone uses the garage door so that's most likely true.
 
I thought I'd post some good news about our bikes. Someone was selling the Atomik on Craigslist and we were able to recover that bike on Tuesday. The guy that was selling it didn't have anything to do with the theft, but he gave SPD some good info on the guy he got it from. We're hoping they can track down the other 3 bikes now. Wish us luck.
