I Have Been Stolen From

Yep, I finally graduated to a big girl bike, one with more then one gear. It was beautiful red, not my favorite but still a nice red, over 10 gears, a head lamp, and the most comfortable seat I've ever had the pleasure of riding.

I bartered for it, and a fair amount of gardening too. It was brand new, only ridden once and hung in a garage. Freakin perfect. The only problem was a bad tire and the break line had been cut. I can fix both.

Earlier this week, I got a new tube and tire, and fixed the brake line and rode it for the first time on Tuesday evening. It was a dream.... an absolute dream.

I didn't feel bad putting my single gear bike so far back into the cobwebs of my garage. It was creepy hanging it, but it was done with decency. This bike was a life saver, and absolute HELL all rolled up into one. I was over it. This seemed a fitting spot.

Friday morning I was excited getting ready, I was going to take my new bike on it's maiden voyage. I lock the door, get my backpack on and walk down the driveway to my bike... Where is it? I looked around frantically, in disbelief.... it's gone.

Someone came up into my driveway, I mean way up. Like 3 car lengths deep into my backyard, and stole my bike. I give.

Now I have to climb back into the cobwebs and make up with my single gear nemesis. Grrrrrrr.

People that do that Shit deserve to die! People would say that's crazy he just stole a bike, but the person that did that is just pure filth. Throw all of those people in landfills and nobody steals from anyone anymore. The Asshole that stole it probably sold it for drug money!

That's what I'm talking about Dave! String them up and throw rocks at them for fun. I'm so sick and tired of my stuff being stolen. I lock it up, they cut the lock. I bring it in the house, they break in. Nothing is fucking safe anymore! It's life in Oakland CA, and I'm getting tired of "donating" my hard earned things to these entitled ingrates.
Thank you for letting me vent. ☺

@rottenrobi: You're welcome, if it wasn't bad enough to have your things stolen. The filth were really bold to go there and get it. I think you need to boobytrap everything!

@ImPhoenix: What about the people who electrified their Trump signd. Obviously you can't electric straight from the house. There's a lot of funny video online of would be sign thieves getting zapped and running away empty handed.
