Just think of it as mandatory recycling. Your bike is getting recycled into crack for homeless people whether you like it or not.

The whole article is a ****ing mess though. They make it look like having his bike stolen was some traumatic event that sent Igor over the deep end, yet they totally downplay the fact that he is reponsible for the theft of thousands of bicycles on the GTA. Think about the thousands of potential break-downs he has caused.

On the other hand, I don't believe that story for a minute, and if having your bicycle stolen causes you to freak out the way they said he did, you probably weren't playing with a full deck in the first place.

They call him "a perfect gentleman" and yet downplay the fact that he ordered a clinically depressed war veteran to do his dirty work for him.

They make him out to be some misunderstood diamond-in-the-rough, when really it sounds like he's just a mentally unstable thief and drug dealer. Handsome? Does it really matter? I don't remember reading any "chiseled jaw-bone" excemption in criminal law. Charismatic? Maybe. I never met the guy. But it sounds like he used whatever charisma he possessed to drive his criminal enterprise. Charles Manson was charismatic too. History is littered with charismatic sociopaths.
