Stolen Specialized in Philly

[creadinger]

Hi all,

My sister-in-law’s Specialized Vita (named Velveeta naturally) was stolen yesterday from behind her house near Philadelphia U. If you happen to know anyone up there or check Philly craigslist please take a second to look for the bike below. She called the police last night to file a report, though as you know there’s likely nothing they can do.

We haven’t visited yet so I don’t know the environment where it was locked up, but it definitely was locked to a metal pole with a U-lock.

Certainly check all the sites here as well. I’ve heard of DC bikes ending up in Philly, so I’m sure the reverse is true also. I hope she’s re-united soon. Good Luck!

adhuntr.com and and IFTTT recipe with instant email alerts are good tools for keeping tabs on these sorts of things. Sadly became very well acquainted with them following the theft of my Surly a couple years ago and was not reunited, but I did find those tools useful in my fruitless search for my bike on CL or eBay.

Thanks. I really don’t see it happening, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Fortunately it was only a $500 bike and not something much more expensive. Oh well… people suck.
