    Coming across the Key Bridge at 4am this morning. On the short funnel between Whitehurst and the brick pavers at the end of the bridge.

    Oh man – sorry to hear CCrew. Glad you’re physically okay though but sorry to hear about the bike, etc…

    Thanks guys. I’m fine. Pissed more than anything. All material stuff.

    Already ordered a new Redline Conquest Pro frameset to replace my Fuji Cross, will just strip it out and transfer all the bits.

    My whole team here just sitting hoping for my Macbook to call home :)

    Man, that REALLY sucks! I ride that every morning!

    I’d love to hear the conclusion to this. I too am in IT and have my laptop set to phone home as well. I don’t have a team of IT guys, but it’s something!

    Good luck, I hope you can catch the bastards!

    Very glad you weren’t shot.
    Could you please give us as detailed a physical description as possible of the two assailants?
    Thanks.

    About 9mm in diameter is my most vivid recollection. :)

    African american, very late teens/early 20s. One approx 6′ , one with the gun about 5’8″. Both medium build for height. Short hair, gunman wearing jammers, black plain T shirt and a white NY hat (stuck because what’s with the leaving the price tags on them?)

    Mode of operation is they split apart and force you down the middle. Taller one tried a roundhouse and didn’t have such good aim and caught my helmet ( I hope that frigging hurt!) but I was in avoidance mode and it caused me to turn into the wall. Had I been able to extricate fast enough I’d have been out of there. Had just come to a stop when I had a gun to my face. I saw it coming, albeit too late to bail. This makes the second time in the same area, in the same timeframe with the same MO. First time I saw it earlier and aimed right for the bigger one and they backed off. That was several months ago. Can’t say if it was the same pair.

    Was over inside of 60 seconds. Basically strip and run.

    Oh Dear God. Thank God you weren’t shot. Were the police helpful? Please, please consider hitting that part of your commute a little later.

    I really hope you and your IT guys catch these thugs. Not only do they deserve some jail time, but hopefully it could help deter similar behavior from others.

    Thanks, but I’m good. I’m parked at the Sunset Hills P&R today, I can metro to WFC and pick up one of the buses from there. It makes for a solid “Plan B”

    Really, really appreciate the offer though.

    Wow. Reading how it happened really jacked my heartrate up. I don’t know how you kept your wits about you. So glad you got out okay.

    Teach me how to do that for my PowerBook, please!

    Best free solution for a Mac is here: http://preyproject.com/

    Cheap one is here: http://hiddenapp.com/

    Mine’s using an enterprise version (Computrace) tied to our corporate systems that’s fairly pricey. Fortunately i can piggyback my personal mac on the corporate account or I don’t think I’d want to spend the $$
