I was a bike messenger for a few years. We have recovered all sorts of stolen bikes for people. I'm assuming you are in the Boulder/Denver area? I know you have messengers there (my friend was one in Denver a few yrs. ago). Just let those guys know. They are out all day long and often see things that the average person does't see. It couldn't hurt.
It also is probably a good idea to inform your local police. You will definitely need to if you make an insurance claim.
Anyways, my two cents.
I'm real sorry that happened to you, and I wish you the best of luck.
By the way, if you have any good friends that work in bike shops, they CAN be a real asset when making insurance claims on bikes.

lock your shit up even in your own garage next time...even if its a shared garage ...who knows...maybe you will even get a neighbor that steals your shit...or even plans to have someone else do it for them...conspiracy i tell ya!...trust me...ive seen it happen.

Exactly haha,
All they have to do is say you had some aftermarket stuff on there. Poof there goes the deductable. I used to work at a shop in college we wrote estimates like that all the time.

i don't think dude should cough up the dough... he's an idiot and it surely does suck that he left the door open and your shit got stolen.
but at the same time you should never trust that your personal belongings are going to be safe in any "common" area.
my bike stays in my apt where i can keep tabs on it.

jevad i'm in the same boat as you. my garage is shared by 3 other peeps from the 4 condo unit. i even lock my car doors when i park inside in case someone leaves the door open.
sucks. but that's the price you pay when you're batman.
- todelete__20

Sorry to hear it nic - a friend of mine got her scooter stolen last summer, she wrote it off and low and behold the next day she went down an alley for a short cut and found a couple of kids pushing the scooter. you may just get it back - it happens

if your neighbor offers you money tell him that the frame was made of heroin that you were helping a friend smuggle in to the country. you needed the money to pay for your dog's sex change. maybe he'll kick in a couple of extra bucks.
- PixelDrama0
next time he leaves the garage open, steal something of his...
- Mimio0
brandelec,
Same thing in Detroit except for those 12-14 year-olds are also lead-poisened zombies, and don't have the sense to steal anything of real worth, they just vandalize shit.
