I never had a complete bike stolen, but I had a RockShox Quadra5 stolen from my (locked) Specialized RockHopper Comp A1 FS. That was a long time ago (1997 maybe?). Strangely, they stole the stem and fork and left the rest. It would have been so much easier to simple cut all the cables and leave with the bar, shifters, levers as well...
That sucked, but it it was a nice occasion to "upgrade" to a Manitou Mach5 fork and a Girvin stem. The Manitou sucked, but the Girvin stem was a beauty.
