The trials and tribulations of being a bike thief...
...sometimes you steal from the wrong people.
Patrick Larson (one of the Frankenbike organizers) just forwarded me a link to a rather substantial reward offer for a pair of very low-end bikes that were stolen over the weekend. What lies in store for the thieves sounds downright frightening:
REWARD FOR STOLEN DEL SOL - $500 (CENTRAL)

I hope y'all find the thieves, fellas. If they do mob justice is gonna go down and from the description of the crime and the mob I don't expect it to be pretty. Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick.
On a positive note, Caden was lucky enough to recover the bike he had stolen last February just the other day! A friend of his spotted it out and about, and with the help of said friend and an angle grinder, Caden is now in possession of his beloved 1x1 once again! HELL YEAH, it's always excellent when one of these stories has a happy ending.
myself and the future...people are tired of being told to accept the fact your a victim if your an american...we as a people always act when left to fend for ourselves...As good ole art said crime jus' happens yo...well fuck that...I hope I find them for that guy...late!
When I read this letter, I pictured Clint Eastwood's character from Gran Torino. I hope he finds those shitbirds and makes them pay.
Haha, for me it was wavering between Gran Torino Clint or the image of Danny Trejo's Machete character + 10-20 years. Either way, I hope these punks get spanked.
