BIKE: STOLEN

[Chuck_Thomas]

just curious did you have it locked?  if so was it a U lock? many of
those can be unlocked with a bic pen.  Kryptonite is replacing it's
locks with the new model for free. -cct-

my bike was stolen off of my front porch this weekend.  I depended on my
bike for travel around town and now I am forced to walk/bus to school
and work.  Do any of you know where I can a cheap large size mountain
bike (new/used in good condtion).  I would appreciate it.  Also I
attached a picture just in case because hey...you never know.  Please
respond to: johnjohnson.  Your help is greatly
appreciated.
