That sucks so bad. Good luck finding your bike. I hope you catch the jerk who stole it.

After some neighbors lost bikes and other things out of their garages I've started locking my bikes in the garage.  Very inconvenient. :(

This really sucks. I live in the same apartment building as the
victim, and I was the person who set up the bike racks. There were at
least five bikes stolen, along with some wheels and one saddle+post.
The bikes were all locked to the racks, some with cables plus u-locks,
others with u-locks. The garage is protected by a keypad-coded garage
door. That is the main theft prevention device. I always hypothesized
that once a thief got in, none of the bikes would be safe if the thief
was really prepared. The thief tried to get through the cable securing
two of my bikes, but it looks like he/she/they couldn't make it
through the cable. I don't remember the brand, but I bought it because
it was heavy duty. It wasn't Onguard or Kryptonite or MasterLock.

That Surly was nice, and something special given the couplers.

Here's some of my documentation:

I reposted this on the Surly Long Haul Trucker and Cross Check owners group here in google groups so they can watch for it too.
