So I have been using my bike to commute back and forth to work. 4.5 miles one way. I have racked up almost 600 miles since the end of July. I work at the County Emergency Services Building which also houses the County Jail.

I was storing my bike in an unused (most of the time) training room while at work. Since the character of some of the people around my work may be questionable(jail visitors). About two weeks ago now my boss came out and told me to "Get my bike out of the training room, and it doesn't go back in there!" I had been using that room since July to store my bike with no issues. So the fact that he came in and announced that to me in front of all of 9 of my co-workers was a little irritating to say the least. I got up and locked up my bike outside by the Sheriffs Detectives cars. Figured it would be fairly safe there.

Yesterday I went to leave for work changed into my commuting clothes took the bike down from were I store it and noticed that someone had messed with my pump. Nothing major just flipped it back over and re-strapped it down. I did a quick check nothing else seemed to be missing or messed with. I hop on and start riding. Something didnt feel quite right but figured maybe one of the tires was low on air. I ride down the hill from work and start to climb up a little slope and all of a sudden my rear tire locks up. Stop and look and someone had stole the rear skewer!... Thankfully I was unable to unclip fast enough and didnt fall on my face in traffic. I felt like sending my boss an email saying and this is why I was putting my bike inside. Thankfully it was a $5 fix. Went to the LBS and they hooked up and ordered me some locking skewers....
