Not that it makes any difference, but when I was in 8th grade, someone stole the cheap K-mart lock off my bike, but left the bike. So, not only was the punk a jerk, but he was an idiot, too. Determined to not be intimidated or bullied, I rode again the next day (probably using my sister's matching lock since she didn't ride to school) and caught the kid as he was trying to steal that one.

Some people never grow out of that teenaged jerk stage.
