Well back on the topic of stolen bikes, a friend of mines brother had his bike stolen earlier this week (Thursday afternoon). They cut through his lock in broad daylight, and we thought that the bike was gone for good. That Friday was our local Critical mass and he made the announcement to everyone to look out for the bike, well lo and behold someone had seen someone riding the bike around and the kid was bragging about stealing it from a town 20 miles away.

Then yesterday we had an Alleycat, after everything was over we had a little BBQ at the park. Guess who we saw? The kid riding the bike, the stupid kid even decided to try to rattlecan over the original paint, chop the bullhorns, and take off the clips/straps so that we wouldn't recognize it. Thing was my friends bike had a unique stem (for the area at least, since we don't have that many riders) and someone recognized it. Within seconds there was a mob of at least 30 people surrounding the guy, kid started talking crap saying that he bought the bike (different story a day later, yeah definitely stole it). He looked like he was seconds away from crying and he was shaking so much, luckily no one there was stupid enough to assault the guy, and we got the bike back.
