To the [expletive] who stole my bike this week

| | Comments (7) |

An open letter:

Thanks so much for stealing my bike out of my backyard this week. Here are some things I am looking forward to:

-Locking up my girlfriend's bike and any future bike I might have every time I use it, even though they are OUT OF SIGHT of the road

-Closing my back window, which previously served as a in/out door for my cat, and to keep the house cool.

-Locking every door in the house, which until now, were open, making my life simple.

-Being forced to jog, go to the gym, or carry out some other kind of exercise when I don't have time to hike. Yes, I used to use the bike to exercise in a much more pleasant way to exercise than running or being forced indoors.

I'd also like to thank you for making me suspicious of my neighbors- the ones I don't know anyway.

Finally, just to let you know, you can still return the bike to my house with no questions asked and I will not contact the police. I will, however, beat the everlasting snot out of you.

That sucks your bike got stolen in all honesty. I didn't know crime happened in District 7. What is your cat's name? And when are you putting up a picture of yourself?

Sorry about the bike. Mine got stolen out of my garage a few years ago, and I still try to get good looks at bikers as they go by, to see if one of them is riding my bike.

Right on YB. I fantasize about seeing someone riding my bike, charging them when they are stopped at a red light, and knocking them on their ass.
How did I miss this? We just had a bike stolen, too.
