The Thief
We loathe a thief!
Years ago when living in an apartment in Tulsa, I had a ten speed bike.
I took it on as a project to make it a bike that had everything on it you could want at the time.
I had it chained outside the back sliding door in a closed wooded porch area.
One morning I looked out and the chain was broken and the bike was gone.
I was shocked and angry that someone would be so brazen to do this.
I spent the next several days keeping an eye out for that bike to no avail.
I have no sympathy for a thief.
I have also had hub caps, hood ornaments, etc. stolen.
