How much time are you willing to waste looking for a $120 bike? Work it off for a few hours instead and it's the equivalent outcome. My $1000 bike was stolen not too long ago. I just decided not to have nice things after that :) Makes life easier.

Do they have any cameras for that area? Maybe it was caught on tape?

If I stole a bike, not that I ever would, I wouldn't sell it on craigslist. There's a good chance the owner would buy it and offer a beating.

they have camera's on the walking path in the station so the police are going to check the cameras (they said) and if they are able to id the person they will give me a call.

but I have already given up hope so i had the g/f find a cheap bike on craigslist and will pick it up tommorow.

Yep they are. Its nice that they will fit in a backpack pretty easily as well. No more worrying about your bike because it will always be glued to you.

How exactly did she have it locked? Did they cut/break the lock or do something else to get it off?

Just had a thought of the PeeWee Herman scene where he locks up his bike and has it stolen. Classic.
