So this morning go take the dog for a walk, did our rounds, head back to the house and think, hmmmm - "car looks a bit naked?" Well Holy Moly *#@! someone stole my Thule Bike rack ! I guess they "pried / cut" the straps off, as one of the stock rails was damaged! All the rack and tray locks were locked though, so hopefully it will be rendered unuseable, although I am sure they will find a way around that. I had TIG welded some custom wheel carriers and made a stabilizer for the thru axle adapter, that is what has me most pissed - all that work and now its gone!

Pic is too big, so here is my CL ad to note the damage and maybe someone there can help.

Oh, and I stated bike thieves, as they would be the only ones to have any idea of what it is.

sorry to hear that maurice. lets hope that karma catches up to them.

Scum of the Earth. Sorry to hear this. Hopefully they get caught.

Sorry to here that.

Thanks for the support guys, so I was thinking of ways to maybe make it harder, and came upon these audible alarm locks for motorcycles - XENA.

So my next rack, when ever I can afford to replace it it will get one of these bad boys! Heck even get one for the bikes themselves.

check it out - US distributor : http://www.lockandloud.com/

If you know anyone who has been affected by bike theft or other wise this might be a good investment, pass it on

I hate thieves. Get a job and work for stuff like everyone else!

Off topic but I see that you are in Houston. I live in Clear Lake. Where are you at?

Up north west in Cypress - you go to any tracks around here, mikes perhaps? Now I am wrestling with the estimator, as they have never had to replace a bike rack before -

I go to Mikes on a rare occasion. MM is far more convenient and is small enough that I can easily see the whole thing.
