Have You Seen This Bike Thief?

by Elaine on May 23, 2011

My bike was stolen Saturday. And this is the picture of the person who stole it. Have you seen this bike thief?

This man felt entitled to my $500+ Trek Allant despite not paying for it. He felt so entitled to something he didn’t own that he felt he could rip the lock out of brick. He rifled through the unlocked bikes next to my bike and took mine. But Karma is a bitch and this story can have a happy ending. Because peopleacross from my courtyard took pictures of the person stealing my bike.

If you hate people who feel entitled to steal things that they don’t own, then you can help me get out the word about this bike thief. Not that I’m bitter. Bike thieves are one of the worst things about living in Boulder. And this is our chance to make sure we ruin his joy ride of thievery. And could you please keep an eye out for a man riding around on my olive green Trek Allant? It’s a popular model but I’d love to get it back.

Trek Allant

This is what my book looks like but you'll notice I'm not on it

Oh, and bike thief?

“You don’t have to confess you did it. We are looking for you. We gonna find you. I’m letting you know now so you can run and tell that homeboy.”

I've had 3 bikes stolen over my 4 years in Boulder so I can definitely feel your pain.  I agree that bike thieves are the worst thing about living in Boulder.  Good luck getting it back!

There is a special place in hell for bike thieves.

Was it locked? 

That looks like a familiar homeless guy who hangs around the library and in south boulder, you should file a police report because the police are pretty familiar with the area homeless and might be able to help you out.
