Hey folks,
A coworker of mine who just recently purchased a Specialized Tricross (the same as my commuter's make/model) just had it stolen after owning it a few months. She's been commuting to work regularly and had it locked in a shed near her house. I guess she's outside of city limits, so the Morgantown Police (if I remember right) didn't offer her much help. It was stolen last weekend, August 2nd-4th. She's checked with some of the local pawn shops already.
I've recommended to her that she keep checking local Craigslist ads, post it on Mon Bike Club, WVU Cycling club page, Country Road Cyclists page, post flyers at the local Bike shops and anywhere she can around town, and perhaps even some facebook avenues could be valuable.
I've attached her flyer to this email, which she prefers us to share openly with everyone you can think of.
Do you have any other ideas that could help? Would love to see her get this bike back, especially since she's been such an avid bike commuter. She drove today because she didn't have her bike. :(
Thanks, ~Derek

I reacquired my long term borrowed bike when a friend located it 2 weeks later in the rack at the Amphitheater. It was very distinguishable though.
