Stolen Yakima bike rack in Uptown

My Yakima bike rack was stolen last night from the top of my car parked
on Leland Ave just east of Sheridan in Uptown. It was locked to the top
of my car and someone used a pry bar to force it off. It has two locking
Steelhead trays (which were also locked rendering the rack virtually
useless to a thief), a front wheel mount (fork), and a fairing which had
a bunch of faded stickers on the back of it and brand new stainless
steel hardware. I can describe the stickers in more detail if someone
sees something like this around.

Please contact me if anyone sees something. NO QUESTIONS ASKED REWARD IF FOUND/RETURNED.

Ah Uptown........I wonder if a scrapper ripped it from your car for scrap?

I'm doubting it due to the amount of effort they would have had to go through to remove it. But who knows.

Wow. That completely sucks. I park on Leland as well but way west of you at Wolcott and I'm always worried the very few times I leave the rack on my car overnight. Sorry to hear this.

That would be really interesting if that is the stolen rack because of it being useless from the Steelhead trays missing.

I dont know what a steelhead tray is...

I'm just trying to help a brother out. If he determines it's not his rack, so be it.

Go Fuck yourself.

What the hell? I was just pointing something out that Tristan noted in his (her?) original post.

"It has two locking Steelhead trays (which were also locked rendering the rack virtually
useless to a thief)"

I have no idea why you took it as an insult to you.

That sucks. Possibility of theft is one reason my wife and I didn't invest in a roof system or tow-hitch.

Our trunk-clip rack is janky for sure, but I can remove it when I'm done with the bike and take it inside.
