I had a happy ending tonight. I reported the theft to all the local bike shops as well as the police
3 days ago. It's not the only recumbent in Salem, but could be the only Lightning Phantom and
catches attention. This afternoon, 2 kids on my bike came riding past South Salem Cycleworks (my new
favorite LBS). The owner, Michael Wolf, spotted the bike cruising by and sent 2 people running after
them, and recovered the bicycle. The thieves, unfortunately, ran away although I still have a
possible lead to identify them. I'd like them to get caught- it's terrible for people to think they
can get away with this ****. Rear rack is a little bent as they were both riding on the bike, and
they tore off my rear fender, but looks ok otherwise.
Michael Wolf had a bike ripped off from his shop today and so was pretty fired up to recover a
bike. I hope I can help someone out in the future. It really paid off to be assertive about trying
to publicize the theft. (Struck out with the local newspaper though). Thanks for your comiserations
and advice.
