1715.0. "another Bike Stolen" by MEMORY::GOODWIN (I've got a knee mouse) Mon Aug 27 1990 11:43

	Comming back from the NEBS in maine on Sunday a Kestral was stolen 
	off the roof of our car in Hampton Beach, NH. We were at a resturant 
	on the conner of rts 1 and 27 called Lamies. We had just finished 
	lunch when one of the guys took some water out to his dog and all 
	the bieks were there. Ten minutes later when we left the kestral 
	was gone. we were albe to follow the thiefs trail North on rt 1.
	for about 4 miles but never found them.

	It was a white Kestral 4000 w/ a Campy Disk wheel. The disk had 
	"SPOKE N' WHEEL" in big block letters on it. If anyone saw this
	bike on Rt 1 near the Hampton Mall or if any you see or hear of this
	bike please call the Hampton Beach police or Frank's Spoke N' Wheel 
	at (508) 872-8590.

1715.2You won't get any sympathy from your ins. co.GSFSWS::JSMITHChromed CannondaleMon Aug 27 1990 13:2212
    	That's a real bad area to leave anything unattended
    or unlocked.  Two years ago we lost our wallets and
    my wifes rings that were hidden under the seat in a locked
    car.  The car didn't even appear to have been broken into...
    they even relocked the door and put the bags back under the 
    seat before they fled with our stuff.  We were told by the local 
    police that professionals work the beach all summer long.
    Hope your auto insurance will pay for it, but if you put a claim
    in on your home owners policy be prepared to be dropped next
    year when you go to renew.  That's what MET PAY did to us....
    live and learn....:(

	RE: .1

	A "knee mouse" is a small pice of bone that resides in or around
	the knee joint. Symptoms include: Squeeking knees, cravings for
	cheese, hatred towards cats , and incredible pain after running.
	The exact cause of the infestation is not known but is suspected 
	to be caused by the USCF to turn Triathletes into cyclists. 

	RE: .2

	I don't know if the guy who owned the bike was covered or not. 
	He said that he tried to insure it and the ins co. wanted over 
	$800  a year. 

	The owner of the Inn said he thought his policy would cover it.

    UPDATE:
    
    	The owner of the Bike that was stolen got a call from the detective
    	handling the case. It appears the there is a ring of thevies that
    	follows racers from events and then take the bikes when people stop 
    	to eat afterwards.
    
    	Make sure you secure your bike whenever you stop after a race. I
    	always lock mine. Even when I have it in the car I have a cable
    	that I lock around the seat bracket.
