My renter's insurance deductible is more than I lost. I won't be claiming anything.
I'm happy, and cleaning.
Well, my 850 just got stolen

Hurray! Glad you found it in one piece and with nothing broken or gutted from it.
Sorry about the tools though. Apparently, Denver is just not a place for you to have nice things.

nor Richmond, nor Huntsville, nor Redding, nor Bangor, etc. etc.
Car getting stolen and sellable stuff taken happens everywhere. I don't think Denver is in the top 50 on that list.

... two bikes in the last 6 months, one with sentimental value.
I was down to my longboard skateboard for a while there. And at my age, my body was crying after using it.

Yep, that t-shirt says "FELON". You can't make this stuff up.

Being the helpful types, they generously took time to apply an iPD sticker I had in the glovebox. Nice and straight, great location. Only one problem: it's on the wrong side of the glass.
Also, typical of a junky, one quit halfway through the difficult job of removing one of the Volvo "$5000 Reward if this Car is Stolen" stickers.

Looks like a couple homeless junkies.. your luck with tools has not been good lately here.
Glad you got your ride back though.
Could have been worse.
