Wreyford's bikes were stolen from Tittelford manor. They broke into the storage unit downstairs and stole the lemond and the fixie. They also took some of Justin's tools and a saddlebag. Heres the bike descriptions:
Silver and orange lemond alp d' huez, full ultegra, gray bar tape, black wheels with black bladed spokes.
KHS Flite 100 track bike, pursuit bars, brooks leather bar tape, front wheel laced radial. It has a sticker on the right side of the top tube that says "the dude abides"
Keep an eye out.

after chase's last crash, the Wreyford's bikes are being rounded up and shot as per an Obama-care preemptive strike to lower medical costs (see also- death panel).

What about the innocent victim? The Lemond is Christine's. I will find who did this, I swear. And I will hurt them with the fury of god. These are dead men.

Chase still has one of my bikes too. Well, not really, it's actually the point83 emergency loaner bike. But I like to tease.

That was the grey one with the bullish bar plugs, right? Chase said it was 57cm.

I'm digging through my iphoto and everyone's flickr to find pictures. Ultegra means the STI shifters/brake levers, front derailer, rear derailer, crankset, and brake calipers say fucking Ultegra on them. It's made by a company called Shimano. You may have heard of them.

Hahaha justice prevails! A guy named David, who follows Go Means Go Ryan's Twitter feed was walking through Seattle Center and saw some motherfucker with Christine's LeMond. He called 911, emailed Ryan, who emailed me with his number. I called him, raced down there to ID the bike, which had been "upgraded" with a rock shox fork and flat bars, the Ultegra shifters were dangling from the handlebar. Plus, all the spoke cards from my KHS had been moved to the lemond. They cuffed him, searched him, found a glass dick (meth pipe), and crystal meth. They took the bike into evidence so the DA can have more evidence to prosecute the shitbag. Victory!
Thanks you so much to Go Means Go Ryan and David (photos by David).

Great to hear that the bike has come home and a meth head might have a chance at coming clean in a system.
pretty scary how quickly the bike had been modded to avoid recognition. Good reminder to write my serial numbers down.
Any recommendations on how to tag a bike that doesn't have serials?

Wow man, good on David recognizing the bike despite the changes in the fork and handle bars. Amazing. Well, this coming from a guy that doesn't know the difference between Ultegra and late 90s Shimano 105 vs RX100. You fucking bike nerds.
But seriously, have this David guy come out on a ride and I'll buy him a beer even though it wasn't my bike. Good eyes, totally rad. Team so stoked.
Also did the dickbag meth head mumbled anything about Belltown Pull Apart? Sketchiest bike store ever.

I have a number only set of those if you want to use them. This reminds me that I bought them to put serial numbers on my homemade frames, and have never done that.

Another tip ... forget if I read this here, or some other bike forum site: put some type of identifying document (name + phone number, whatever) deep inside the seat tube or better yet the BB shell. Obviously, use some type of plastic, w/ lettering in permanent marker, to be water/grease proof.
I think it was brought up / suggested related to some story of a thief having scratched off a serial no.

I know at least one person who found their very nice bike being sold there. The bike had been reported as stolen, but the shop didn't check the stolen bike registry. The bike shop also reported having bought it for an unbelievably low price (around 5% of the retail new value of the bike)...something that is only likely to happen with a pretty modern bike if it were stolen.

Thanks everyone for being a part of getting my bike back. It has been so challenging being so far away from all that has been happening and not knowing what to do or how to fix any of it. I don't know how to thank you for your support, offers to beat up homeless guys and the mass communication that happened via the internet and word of mouth. If you guys find this David guy someone buy him a puppy or give him an organ and I will be sure to repay you.
Thanks again for being there for me.

So I fucking blew it, I found the kid with my KHS in front of the broadway qfc. It has a fresh coat of rattlecan black, now has an Alex front wheel, same pursuit bars, but they took the leather bar tape off. Same carbon fork, same sugino messenger cranks. tektro crosstop lever on the left side of the bars. The spd pedals were gone, the right pedal was a toe cage, the left was a flat pedal. The kid was a skinny dude wearing all black, he had a bag on with what looked like a big picture of Jacl Skellington from nightmare before christmas. I asked him about the bike and he said "it's a trek, I don't know, my friend built it for me". I didn't know what to do, I ran inside to grab the cop that sits by the door at the qfc, but he wasn't there, and the kid spooked and bailed. I didn't know if I should've smashed him with my u-lock, tackle him, or grab the cop. I should've tackled him. The place on the left side of the top tube by the seat tube is tacky from my "dude abides" sticker. I would've called someone but my phone was dead. oops. We'll find this fucker too.

if you've got your u-lock handy don't attack anybody, just lock the bike, if you can be quick about it.

My friend Jolina's silver Schwinn Voyager GSD I9 (serial# SNHUA08L09315) was stolen from the 7-11 on Stone Way (Fremont/Wallingford). The lock was cut.
I'm linking the photo from FB so not sure if it will show up, so here are the specs as I know them:
Schwinn Voyager GSD I9
Silver
Riser bars with brown grips
Grip shifters
Brown saddle
Front shocks
Disc brakes
Plain ol' platform pedals
This is about all I know. If you see a bike that looks like it might be this one, or you get a chance and can match the serial, please either give me a call or call Jolina at 206-295-4647 or call the cops.

When I was in this situation, i said "That's my bike. It was stolen. I'm taking it now". The guy argued a little, but didn't try to stop me.

That movie was terrifying.
Joby's totally right, I should've just rolled the dice and taken the bike and split. I was outnumbered 4 to 1, but I'm a big kid, and these are tweakers. I talked to the bike cops that patrol Broadway and they know the guy, they're actually looking for him for questioning about a burglary and a sexual assault. One of the bike cops said to me "why didn't you just kick his ass and take the bike?". Also all the guys that work at qfc know who he is and they have my number, in case they see him there again, which I guess is most nights of the week.

You need to build a hunting blind outside of QFC so you can catch him.

Cut your tires next time, or in some other way fuck it up. Or as Lee said, U-lock it. Don't attack the person, you're right - good way to get your ass kicked is to put them in a you vs them situation. They're not going to go to blows over stolen merchandise - this isn't The Road.
