LOST: CatEye Velo 5
It took me several days to decide what my first bike computer would be, and I chose CatEye Velo 5 because it's cheapest (tight budget for a grad student :

I went to CVS from home to pick up a photo (around 2:45 - 3:20) and didn't see it on my bike when I got home. I think I remember I saw it when I was in CVS (I took the bike in).
I went back CVS again and cashier said he didn't see anything. I followed the route I came home (red) again and saw nothing. Here is the link for the route:
I know the chance getting CatEye back is really low, but please contact me if you saw it. Any help is really appreciated!!

Post a photo of the mount for that, with something for scale - like a dime. I think I have an old cateye computer kicking around without a mount. It's a different model but it might still fit.

Thanks, Lyle. Here is the mount:

Do you remember seein git on the bike when you went home from CVS? Maybe someone took it from the bike before you left to go home?

I had my bike with me all the time, so I don't think it was stolen.
Well, maybe losing it is meant to be a lesson/experience.

when I lost mine it fell off when my bike was on a car rack....I started taking it off when I put my new one on the rack afterward. I felt the same way ...like it was some sort of lesson.

That's not the worst story of losing a bike computer. About 2 years ago, I was biking with my father-in-law on the Montour trail. I was riding my cyclocross bike (Jake the Snake) while he was on his mountain bike. Anyway, I wasn't used to riding with someone who couldn't hold their line so well.
We were in some traffic on the trail, big group coming the other way. I slipped in behind him and he slowed. I went to his left, a little tight, but I had to as there was oncoming bikes. He then swerved suddenly. I went head over handlebars as he ran over my rear wheel. I ended up about 8 feet off the trail in the weeds. My wheel was folded like a taco, my computer was never to be found, and I got poison ivy on my knee a week before my vacation to CA. Total cost of accident $350. Plus co-payments for doctors office and total discomfort of having poison ivy/oak on my one vacation of the year.
Oh...and I had to do the walk of shame with my bike on my shoulder for about a mile and a half to get to the main road where I waited for my wife to pick us up.

I found my old Cateye computer with no mount, but it is a different shape - sorry.
