Sunday, October 18th, around 4:15 PM. Olive/Silver Giant Sedona bike with Chariot Cougar 1 trailer, stolen in front of Safeway in South Davis. The bike is old and in poor condition and is not worth much, but the chariot was fairly new. The picture below is about two years old, the bike is much dirtier, older, full of scratches, the saddle is damaged and has big holes. My son and I were left stranded and had to walk back home. If you have any info, please contact castano@gmail.com or call 408-416-1710, I'll provide a generous reward. No questions asked. 
Sunday, October 11th, between 5 and 10 pm. Vintage 1986 light blue Cannondale stolen from West Davis. It's my only bike and it was locked right outside of my apartment. I'm a grad student and a poet, so I don't exactly have extra money lying around for another bike. It's got presta valves, friction shifters, a black seat, and faded black and white cloth taping. If you have ANY information please email: ewhughes@ucdavis.edu. I don't have a recent picture, but here's one from a Cannondale brochure (just imagine it older w/ modifications).
