First it was the great James Clayton bicycle theft ring of ’08. Then it was Team Barloworld. Not even “The Look” could save Lance Armstrong from bike theft. Now Velonews is reporting that USA Time Trial champ and Garmin-Slipstream team member Dave Zabriskie Salt Lake City home was broken into while he was racing the Tour of California.

The list of stolen items include:

 Black 2008 Subaru Outback, Utah plate A189NC
 Black 2006 Toyota Scion, Utah plate 094VWM
 Giro D Italia Race Medal (approx. 6″ circumference)
 Olympic Seiko watch
 Beijing Olympic ring (silver) with initials “DZ” engraved ($4,000)
 Olympic Time Trial Bike, plus 12 other bikes (combined value of $100,000)
 Cervelo (black/red) bike frame – team issued ($5000)
 Tag Heuer watch ($6,000)
 Bose Speaker/Receiver System ($15,000)
 Sony 52″ flat screen TV ($4,000)
 Two Mac Books and one Mac desktop, plus hard drive ($8,000)
 A pair of Space legs, a recovery compression system for legs ($5,000)

Anyone seeing Zabriskie's luxurious mustache on eBay or Craig's list should contact police immediately.

 7 Marvel sideshow statues ($11,000)

I can stand the 14 bikes. I can even stomache the race trophy’s, but what monster would steal a man’s SEVEN Marvel slideshow statues. Have you no decency to take a man’s Hell Boy? 

Luckily, it appears that DZ Nuts remained untouched.

Anyone with any information on this burglary or the location of the items is asked to call the Tips for Cash line at (801) 799-INFO (4636). Please reference case #09-32767.

    Fairly insightful submit. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a beneficial deal of my time looking for someone to explain this topic clearly and you\’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
