Working late, came out bike was gone but U-lock was still there. Bought bike the day before, bike shop people taught me how to lock bike tire to frame to back bike tire to bike rack. Bike was gone and U-lock was still there. Whoever did it knew what they were doing. This is a brand new custom bike, that I had saved up for. Not expensive, but expensive for me-- $400. I don't have a picture of the actual bike since I only had it for a day-- but I do have the 3d rendering of what i had custom bought. There is insurance on this bike, only because the people at the bike shop told me to buy it-- they must have known my bike was too flashy? Please help me find my new bike! :( I had locked it there at 8:30AM and then came back for it at lunch. It was then locked from 1:30-8:30 PM when I came out it was not there. but like i said the lock was.
