Congrats on getting it back. What's the details? Did police catch the kid? Was it abandoned? Was it on craigslist?

Thanks! It was locked up at a BART (public transportation center) station. Realizing it was mine, I called Alameda Police, Oakland police, and Bart police. With their help and a week of waiting, I now legally cut the lock off the bike and got it back. It was double locked at that point, with a sign telling the owner to contact the police. He never did.

Yeah, i really do love aluminum. Its light, and the shape of the aluminum frame makes it as strong as a steel frame
