My near $1000 bike was just stolen off my porch as I was sitting two feet away inside. I watched the morons do it and chased after them but apparently I am not as fast on foot as random strangers are on my awesome bike.
Just boggles my mind that people are so useless. Makes me sad, really. Mostly frustrated though.
Nah they ran and scattered. Unfortunately Portland has really narrow blocks so they split off to different streets really quick and my chasing and swearing and ■■■■■■■ did very little.
Society sucks in general for allowing people to feel cool while doing this.
My $1400 car stereo system was stolen a few days ago. They ripped out the sub and my head unit - for some strange reason left the amp. In my neighborhood my car was the 50th that had been broken into that night. The 50th.
have a word out on the streets (with friends etc) this guy did’nt steal the bike to drive for sure, he will try to sell it off for drugs etc, did you see any new faces around your neighbourhood lately? they would have visited the place couple of times before they executed the plan.
also make sure you make an official complaint to the police about it…stealing someone’s ride usually is more trouble than it sounds…what if its found in a place where some other bigger crime took place?
Sucks though. Last year someone stole my bike’s saddle whilst it was chained outside my flat! I mean, Come on! Was a very uncomfortable ride to work the next day.
get one of your buddies to drive you around the area the guys ran towards and when you find him, kick his nuts so hard he’ll spit them out in front of you
That sucks. I work at a university and bikes get stolen all the time around here that many don’t even report it. I feel bad for all the freshmen with nice bikes they are usually cut and stolen within the first 1 or 2 weeks.
Yea, I party near a place that has a lot of theft and as I was leaving one morning the car next to mine had the window smashed in (probably was the sound system.
