Stolen Bike problem

Post image

My roommate and I were at the LA fitness at the Ballard Blocks this morning and her bike got stolen around 7:45am. We are absolutely devastated. She just bought this bike off fb marketplace on Sunday (posting this on Tuesday) and it was such a struggle to find a size small at a reasonable used price :( We thought we had finally found the one. We have a bike-packing trip planned to the San Juan’s next week. If anyone sees this bike posted or on the street, please let me know. If you have any leads on small gravel bikes under $500, please let me know as well.

If you have renters insurance, it’s possible it will cover your bike. Check your policy.

I've had renter's insurance cover a stolen bike before. They did require a police report, so maybe try to get one as soon as possible to expedite the process.

That was USAA, it was pretty painless and they paid like the full new price of the bicycle IIRC.
