My bike was stolen from my apartment building sometime between Saturday evening and Monday morning up in Eunpyung Gu. If anyone has any info any one tries to sell a Black Cat bike, front suspension, brand new rear tyre (the front and back tyre are different) contact me or the police.

The joke is on the prat who did this, I have been needing to get it fixed for a while. The gear shift doesn't work properly and the chain is a link too short which means it can't go into to high a gear without skipping. It will cost them cash to fix it.

If the person who took my bike sees this, return my bike to where you got it from in same or better condition and I will let the issue drop and not involve the police.

Think it might have been a daves esl reader???

For all the merchandise you see displayed unattended, you'd think Korea would be a shoplifter's paradise. Doesnt seem to be a huge social problem though.

Bikes, on the other hand, seem to be fair game. I know a number of people who have had them swiped. Be careful, bike owners. Best luck, OP.

Was it locked? I had mine stolen even with a cable lock on it. The lock was cut!! I thought I would never see it again. So I did the obvious, searched the neighbourhood and DID find it within an hour. It also had a shiny new lock on it! The seat was even adjusted, etc.

Maybe take a good look around your neighborhood?
