    Damn! ....BUT why in the hell was it in the garage? The msrp on the SB5C is $6600 to $9,000 depending how it was spec'd.
    I'd leave that bad boy in the house or in chains in the garage. Thats a lot of money! I hope its recovered!

    Its worth more than a dirt bike.....

    Sorry to hear. Bike thieves are lowly scum.

    Was easily a 10K build, Next SL cranks, carbon wheels....
    It would be nice to assume your stuff is safe in your own garage....

    Good thing:
    1) Its certainly NOT going to be sold to a pawn shop as they arent stupid enough not to research the bike's worth, sees its been stolen and not call the cops...
    2) also it will stick out like a sore thumb in cheapie ass Craigslist unless some tard buys it thinking he got the deal of the century...
    3) not a common bike

    Bad Thing:
    1) the thief is a mountain biker and can disguise the bike with different parts (its a stretch though)
    2) someone takes it to Mexico or Canada
    3) strips it down and sells the frame, along with the parts (doubt that---takes too much time small time thieves are lazy)
    4) thieves belong to a upscale bike syndicate that specialize in road and mountain bikes
    5) report it to insurance and your home insurance rate goes up
