I struggle with riding an expensive bike to where I need to go and leaving it unattended versus not riding. It is a tough decision..

Mike said:im very sorry that you lost your bike, but if you're going to play the price tag card, in my opinion you should not have locked that nice of a bike anywhere downtown for any amount of time... none of my bikes are "$6000 bikes", however I am concerned about having my bikes taken, therefore they are either adequately locked up or they come everywhere with me.
It is very easy, and inexpensive to get a rider put on your renter's insurance to cover expensive bikes. I have several bikes well over that pricepoint, it costs $150 bucks extra a year to insure, with a $250 deduct
I've become increasingly interested in purchasing some sort of insurance for mine, but I'm not clear on how a renter policy would cover theft of a bike unless it was stolen out of your apartment.

Would love to know what method of lock-up and type of lock(s) you've used to lock the bike, if you don't mind me asking.
Plus, if I've seen the bike on the spot, how do I go about claiming that it belongs to someone I know here? Do I hold the person and call a cop? I would need proof like a serial #, signature scratches, etc.?
Hope you get your bike back! It's really sad to see such nice bike gets stolen.
Seri, I'd try to let some of the bike shops around town know and ask them to keep an eye out for it. Given the bike, there's a decent chance that they may end up seeing it. It really sucks that you had such a nice bike stolen, hope that you find it and get it back.
The frame is missing the Orca tabs that are inset on each side of the frame. There are a few scratches on the top tube and I have the receipt for the bike that was purchased at Cycle Smithy. Feel free to call me if you think it looks familar: 847-477-1842. Listed below are some other specs on the bike:
Ritchey WCS Carbon Stem 90
Specialized carbon post (purchased at Cycle Smithy two weeks ago)
Keo Carbon pedals
Sram Force Components 50/34 crank 11-26 cassette
Selle Italia Lady gel flow saddle
Easton Tempest II wheels
Continental 4 season tires
Black gel cork with bar phat underneath
I struggle to understand how someone with a $6k bike only has one bike.
As far as I know your bike will be covered. You should probably take a picture of your bike and send it in. Best bet is talk to an agent.
