That's rotten. I hope you heal up the way you're supposed to, and I hope the cops bust those criminals.

I wish I lived in a country in which I didn't have to worry about having my bike stolen simply because I have the audacity to actually take it out in public.

I'm wanting to get a used bike and fix it up just how I want it with a new paint job, shiny chrome and brass, etc. But if I do that, I'll have to worry about someone ripping it off more.

My current bike is a twenty year old Walmart bike. At thirty feet, it doesn't look bad. Up close, no one in their right mind would put forth any effort to steal it, and that gives me a little peace of mind.

How aggressive are cops at pursuing bike thieves?
