    Completely sucks, the feeling of violation and insecurity is as bad as the loss of material goods.
    I believe in Karma, and they are going to get theirs in spades

    Yes, what everyone else has said. So sorry to read about the violation. Hoping you get these back soon!!!

    PSA to you/everyone else to register their bikes on bike index: https://bikeindex.org The more bikes on there, the more police depts. will use it, the better the results.

    No Bueno.

    Did they take other items or do you believe the bikes where targeted? With bikes as expensive as they are this problem is not going away. Another problem is people buy bikes from Craig's list happy they got a deal and never check to see if they bike they bought was stolen. Wonder how many shops run serial numbers during repairs to see if they are on <a class="postlink" href="https://bikeindex.org/stolen" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://bikeindex.org/stolen</a>

    Very sorry for you Mike and Robin....this sucks. You both have too much good MTBing karma to deserve this. You both give so much to the MTBing community.

    This is terrible. It's happened to several here in the Castaic area also. Get a job and earn your own money and buy your own damn bikes like the rest of us had too instead of stealing from two such great people. Karma will catch up to them...

    Also try searching on this site, it aggregates craigslist, ebay and other searches in one based on search criteria. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.searchtempest.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.searchtempest.com/</a>

    Sorry to hear about your lost bikes!

    Like Gene on STR did, visit all the pawn, second hand stores and bike shops in your area and give them the info on your bikes so they can keep an eye out

    It almost makes me think it's someone you guys might know. Only because they knew the bikes were in a locked room inside the garage... :cry: :cry: :cry:

    That really sucks. sorry about your losses. When my road bike was stolen, I searched craigslist everyday for weeks. problem is, there are so many bikes on craigslist and so many different communities to search in.

    I was just looking at GPS trackers. I guess something like that has a limited battery life. sure would be nice to track those kind of scumbags down.

    this looks cool.

    Had three bikes stolen from my garage last month. took the high end models and left my son's mtb , bmx bike and lower end dh mtb bike. My insurance co. is SLOWLY beginning to help replace bikes... very frustrating!!.. feel totally violated.. There has been a slew of bike thefts here in the Antelope Valley lately. Wish these thugs would get caught.

    That is why searchtempest.com is great, it allows you to search all of Craigslist and ebay at once.


    Someone I know was able to locate their bike on San Fran CL, listed with a San diego phone number.
