MOUNTAIN BIKE STOLEN, NEED YOUR HELP

So my mountain bike was stolen near the U of U around a week ago, I've been searching KSL/Craigslist like crazy to no avail. Not really sure where else to look so I'm hoping you guys could help out.

It's a Yeti ASX, large frame (2006) with Fox 36 TALAS front fork, and RC2 rear suspension both with kashima coat (2011-2012). If anyone sees it around campus or the city please let me know. I will reward with your choice of alcohol (within reason) or tree or whatever.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I'll try to keep a look out even though I'm not too hot on bikes in the summer. But check pinkbike. It's like the newschoolers of biking.

Talk to the guys at 2nd tracks, doubt anyone would be dumb enough to try pawning it off there, but can't hurt to have them keep their eyes open for it.... I don't think they are taking bikes now but someone might try bringing it in.

not from utah, but a fellow mountain biker who thoroughly enjoys the riding out there... do you have the serial number of the bike? I'd file a police report stating that it was stolen, and if you've got the serial number, that'll help positively identify it. Go to local shops and tell them it was stolen, again give the serial number, and ask them to keep an eye out. The shop I used to work for has caught a few stolen bikes this way coming in for tune ups or consignment.

Not likely it will come up here, but I'll keep my eyes pealed in PC. I hate bike thieves with a strong passion.

also a huge amount of pawn shops on state street. Just start calling them and have the red flag put on the bike.

you need to register the serial number in the national stolen database as stolen

I highly doubt that someone would bring in a sick rig like that to a pawnshop, but good luck man, that thing looks like its worth a lot of $. I hope whoever stole it flies over the handlebars and breaks themselves.
