Hi Everyone,
I had my almost brand new (about 10 rides on it) 2012 Black Anodized small Pivot Firebird stolen off of the back of my car last night while I was at the Vons in Hillcrest (needed some food and stopped in for about 20 min on my way home). It was locked to the back of my car and I parked in the underground garage complete with security guards and surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, that didn't stop them. :(

Here are a few pics:

Parts List:
Fork: 2011 Fox 36 170mm Float RC2 FIT 20mm - not kashima (white body)
Shock: 2011 Fox Rp23 with boost
Components: All are 2011 XT (10spd)
XT cranks with MRP LRP chainguide - This is a special chain guide made specifically for this bike due to the floating front Der. It's not in the pics, but it's black and brand new (never even got to use it)
Seat: specialized women's breast cancer awareness with pink rails and a pink ribbon on back
Wheels: DT Swiss 350 W/DT 500 rims with gold spoke nipples and nevegal 2.35 tires

I'm sure it will be parted out and sold piece by piece, but I would appreciate it if folks that troll sites and such could keep an eye out. I would love to catch these guys and prosecute them to the full extent of the law...not to mention tar and feathering.

Bike thieves suck!!!
