Someone stole the wheels off my bike today. They were pretty good mountain bike wheels that have a simple snap-on and snap-off... but cmon. Are you serious?

edit: LOL

Just looked up my bike. It's $1400 new. I got it from a neighbor when he moved across the country.

Really should not have been locking that up downtown. Glad it was just the wheels now.

Yeah dunno. Worst part is this was the last night I was working nights - 9-4 from now on, and they were stolen around like 9 to 11 pm...

I basically need to get a lock for the wheels too now as the bike really is snap on/off wheels, and I have to lock my bike up there again as I still work there.

Anyway I reported the theft to building secruity/police and apparently they have cameras around. A coworker had his bike stolen too but apparently they couldnt make out who it was on the camera. We'll see what happens.

Its 3 sentences actually, a far cry from being a blog. Besides if little effort is placed on writing a blog, dont you think that by all thats just, the same should apply to the comments ?

It's a blog about something that happened to me. I don't have to write a blog that meets your standards whatsoever. If you want to troll gtfo here before you get banned.

What do you want him to say? Give the history of the bike and all the good times he's had with those wheels?

What kind of lock do you use? I thought regardless of whether you use the U-lock or cord it's fairly standard to lock in the front wheel too.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

Actually, backseat moderating is an almost bannable offense. Oh and I dont have to write replys that meet your standards either

That logic is so dumb. If one person makes a bad post, that doesn't mean everyone else should get free reign to shit all over the forums.

U-Lock, but only attached it to the frame. I only noticed a week ago that the wheels actually snap on/off fairly easily, and I never considered someone would steal the wheels. The bike was given to me by a neighbour when he moved, but I'm guessing it's worth $300-400+ considering it has some nice shocks.

I just remembered: the wheels have disc brakes. That probably increasing their value a lot.

Can someone get a mod to ban this dude? This my own blog, talking about me just being victimized, and this guy is being an aggressive douche.

Man, now I'm thankful that my parents made me learn to lock up the wheels when I locked up the bike - particularly the front wheel, because it's super easy to steal 99% of the time. The back wheel is usually more obnoxious, and they typically won't steal just 1 unless they can get both. From what I understand, the thieves typically sell the (presumably high-quality) wheels for dirt cheap afterwards.
