Fairfax/Tamarancho Riders beware of theft

From the "don't let this happen to you" dept. A new Cannondale Carbon Rize 2 mtn bike was stolen from the main Fairfax parking lot (Fair-Anselm plaza lot, opposite Ironsprings pub) Monday around 9PM. The bike was chained to the back of a vehicle, but the chain was cut. There have been recent bike thefts in the area, in addition to the break-in at Sunshine Bikes (where a number of high end bikes were stolen even as the alarm was sounding).

The days of leaving bikes unlocked outside of Ironsprings while you enjoy a cool-n-sudsy are over. And your bike lock had better have an attack dog tied to it if your vehicle is out of sight. (Don't have a designer attack dog either) It would help to keep an eye out for theft in general. As I was writing up this post a friend called to advise that someone she knows had a new bike taken from inside a locked vehicle in SF (window was smashed for access).

Below is some info on the Cannondale that was taken. It would be appreciated if anyone seeing a suspicious post on ebay or craiglist, etc. could send a headsup (post here, or PM me, whatever).

2009 Cannondale Rize 2 (carbon frame) Black, medium size frame, full suspension, lefty fork, SRAM/ Shimano XT derailleurs, Mavic Crosstrail UST wheels, Avid Juicy Carbon Brakes. Frame Serial #: S099000
