To Catch a Thief or Asshole Alert: Stolen Bike

Grrrr.

After writing my previous post for today, I went out for a two hour bike ride to continue my quest for consciousness. I came home bursting with self-awareness only to have it dashed by this disturbing e-mail. Talk about a mental health buzz kill....Grrrr.

Hi everyone. My bike was stolen from just outside of my home in Webster Groves today. I'd love it if you could be on the lookout for it. It is an orange and white Giant Cypress DX from 2004. It has disc brakes and wide road tires (700x40c and 700x38c). It also had (earlier today, at least) an air horn, a computer, an LED light, a WashU kryptonite U-lock (in the holder...), a two-bulb 30W halogen light setup with a power cord running to the battery inside a black water bottle, and a rear light. It's a men's, size 21.

I'm not sure what it means, but it seems like the thief left his old bike for me. It was about 20 feet away, happily propped on its kickstand. For what it's worth, the bike that was left is a white Magna MTB Mountain Tamer.

Thanks for your help.
