Unfortunately one of the downsides of a growing bicycle community is the existence of the lowest of the lowest forms of organisms – a bicycle thief.

A reader, T. Smith has just had his bicycle stolen. He unfortunately does not have a picture of his steed, below is a description:

Hi, I am a student at UCSD who recently had his 2009 Giant Rincon stolen. Black with a few scratches. The seat was taken off at the time along with the back light. The front light was a Quark-5 Super Brite LED. It had disc brakes and was a 24 speed. The tires are different. I have both the serial and license numbers. Any leads would be greatly appreciated! Please contact me at (281)217-8468 or gulfcoastsurfer[at]gmail.com.

If anyone has any leads, please leave a comment or contact the owner directly.

An update:

I had the bike locked over Thanksgiving break outside my dorm (Argo) with all other bikes (lesson learned.)  The lock was a Kryptonite combo chain and U lock.  When I returned after break, both the bike and lock were missing, no trace that my bike had even been there.  I have already reported it to campus police.  Thanks for all the support so far!
