Heidelberg Rohrbach, Germany - Bike Theft | f29 5 - Cannondale Lefty

Tonight my Mountain Bike has been stolen

Please share this page in social media, so that the scattering radius and thus also the likelihood that my bike resurfaces increases!

During the night of 19 to 20 July 2015 my Cannondale TRAIL 29 5 has been stolen from our yard. We live in Heidelberg Rohrbach, Germany.

Until recently I took my bike with me into our flat. But for the last week I wasn’t able to lift heavy objects, so I left the bike in the yard.

My Mountain Bike was locked to my old bike with a FS 300 TRIGO. Unfortunately the thiefs took my old bike too. I got it as a gift from y brother.

I stow away every penny I could for more than a year to fulfill that desire and buy this bike. Finally riding a bike that is technically flawless.

I rode long distances, used it for my sporting balance. Amongst other things I bought it to be able to go on trips with my colleagues.

Sadly all of this is no longer possible. Within a radius of 75 kilometers I rode all distances with my bike or took it with me. You could say it is my company vehicle.

Course of events

On Sunday evening, 19 July 2015, I was out and about with my bike until approximately 9 p.m. On Monday morning, 20 July 2015, I had to go to Heidelberg’s historic center. I had to find out that my old and my new bike were no longer where they had been.

Aware of that I’ll probably never see it again

My experience tells me that I’ll probably never see my Mountain Bike again. Nevertheless I try everything in my power to get it back.
