A Little Help Needed

Just about all of us have experienced the frustration of having a bicycle, or some part of it stolen. This email was in my box this morning and I thought I would share it as we have many Bay Area readers who can keep any eye out. The bike belonged to his mother and is super special.




Dear Listers,

My beloved white Peugeot UO-18 mixte was stolen from outside of our apartment this evening between 6 and 10 PM. It was not locked--I left it outside "just for a minute" and then forgot to put it away and lock it up.

It is highly customized--Campi and Phil Wood, faded red Tailwind panniers, extra-long extensions on the toeclips, and much more.

$200 reward for the return of this bike, no questions asked.

I especially appreciate the help and cooperation of Bay Area CR list members and friends

in this less-than-likely task...

Thanks,

Alameda, CA USA, where my heart is broken and I feel dumber by the minute...
