I never saw that bike there again. Hopefully he started bringing it inside with him or at least locking it to a rack.
Yeah, I debated doing this, but I really didn't want the guy to lose his stuff, but sometimes tough love is what it takes... Is it dumb to leave a phone number so he can get his wheel back?
