Main means of transportation got stolen

dragonette, posted over a year ago

So I came down the stairs as usual to unlock my bike and ride it to work, only to notice that there was no bike there. In fact, not even the lock was left. I was so pissed off. At least they could have left the lock so I would know that some ass monkey stole the bike!!

If somebody stole my bike because they needed it more than I do, maybe I could have forgiven them, but as it happens to be; my bike is my main means of transportation, and I'm bloody proud of it too because it doesn't release my CO2 =)

It's been 5 days and I'm still ticked off about it. Now I've bought myself a new bike, and this time I made sure it was girly enough so that no male thief would even consider stealing it for himself.

Please, can someone promise me that people who steal bikes end up in a very nasty place? Hell, prison or working for Microsoft would be acceptable... If I knew, then I think I could let go of my anger.

I have had this happen with 2 cars and a mountain bike. When I lock my mountain bike anywhere, I completely loosen the quick release on the front wheel. Then if the thief tries to wheelie or even try to hop onto a kerb, its grazed elbows and dented pride. Just make sure YOU don't forget to tighten the nut again, or YOUR nut may become damaged.

lol, this is partially the reason why I leave my older mountain bike unlocked. Come on thief, take my bike in exchange for your teeth.

Now that I think of it, you said your car had gotten stolen as well... do you loosen the breaks of your current car when you park it as well? :D

I think we're talking about something higher than law here: The indisputable right to get even =)

Yes, an eye for an eye, teeth for a bike. Nothing comes free in this world, not even unlocked bikes :)

I believe Maximus said it best.

And I will have my vengeance, with this bike, or with the next.

No, I'm lousy at voodoo, but I can make you a nice little burglar doll if you want.

Seriously though, I'm sorry you got broken into. It must feel horrible to know that people were in your house when they weren't invited.

My poor husband got it first!! I came downstairs and found all muddy footprints on the carpet and thought he had been outside and not wiped his feet, poor bugger!!

It wasn't until i went to find my mobile phone and then looked for the camera i realised they had been in and grabbed everything within grabbing distance!!!

Yes, revenge would be good. I don't do forgiveness.... well not unless I get my stuff back.

**mmm, where CAN I get a voodoo doll from?**

wow! You're a girl, I only now realized that. All this time I thought you were a guy because of your username and the user picture.

You can make your own voodoo doll, but it will probably only work if you believe in it.

If I were you I would stuff it with Tormentilla and tie ribbons in black around it and then stick little needles into it while I burn yellow candles.

Sounds fancy enough to work, ne? =)
