Agreed, it probably fits better elsewhere.

But that aside, I don't see how two thefts of a relatively popular bike model in a very large Boston neighborhood constitutes targeting.

The "angle" is that C&V is an online home for a lot of us, with a lot of viewership. I don't see why everything has to be so neatly organized. Maybe it could be cross posted?

Sort of like your Paceline posts. It's almost like you are just padding your post count over there to use their classifieds.

That's exactly what I'm doing. But, I have like 5 posts and they've all been educated, informed responses. You're a strange and hateful little guy, OFG. At least I can use the same handle and don't have to resort to sock puppet shenanigans.

Like most everyone in this thread you should check your sarcasm detector.
