Between Aug 18th and Aug 19th, my Bianchi Brava got stolen from outside of my apartment. I spent the first week frantically searching for it and only found the lost half of my U-lock.
Then I started to realize that I'd probably never see it again, and began to think of what bike I'd replace it with. I still kept scouring the Internet and found some interesting bike theft related things.
And then, nearly three weeks after my bike had gone missing, I decided to post again on Craig's list. This lead to me receiving an email about my bike being sighted at a pawnshop. I went there, bought it back and now it's home!
If you're looking for your stolen bike, you can find some helpful tips on how to look for it. If you haven't had your bike stolen (yet...), you might be interested in knowing how to keep it that way (unstolen, that is).

I often ride right around that very part of center city, and will let you know if I see a blue bianchi. The question is: was it stolen by an amateur or a professional? If the former, it may turn up. Keep looking. If the latter, it'll probably been rendered unrecognizable and sold in another city.
Thanks a million, I really appreciate it. I haven't seen anyone else with the same color and model since I got mine, so if you actually spot a dark blue Bianchi, it might actually be mine.
I don't know about the thief. My U-lock got ripped apart with some tools. I hope it was just someone taking the opportunity and not a pro... I know I'll probably never see my bike again, but a girl gotta keep trying.
