>This morning at 4:30AM my house in Georgetown was
burglarized and my
>Cannondale Six13 Lampre/SRM Team Edition was stolen.

>For an image please see:

>
>Modifications to the bike include: Modolo Handlebars,
Speedplay Ti Pedals.
>
>The bike was near the rear door, and I think my dog
prevented the burglar
>from going further into the house, as they grabbed it
and made a very quick
>exit.
>
>I believe the bike changed hands quickly;  at 9:20AM
Mike Stebe of the
>Bicycle Pro Shop saw my bike while on the bus at 16th
and Columbia.  The
>bike was being walked by a tall (approx 6') black
male with very long dread
>locks.
>
>Minutes later, an employee from City Bikes saw the
same bike/person and
>confronted him about it, but was ignored and walked
away, east on Columbia
>road towards 15th....
>
>To my knowledge, this is the only bike of its kind in
Washington, DC right
>now, aside from one Snow Valley 30+ rider.   The bike
is easy to recognize
>due to the brushed aluminum/carbon and Lampre
stickers.  Anyone not wearing
>a Rockville Harley Kit on a bike of this description
seen in metro DC 
>should
>be considered suspect.
>
>Any help is appreciated.  I am offering a $500 reward
plus a $150 comp tab
>at Sonoma Restaurant for any information that leads
to the recovery of the
>bike.
>
>Thanks for your help,
