It's Enough to Make One Not Ride

Ok, so I get home at a reasonable time after work for a change, and it's 65° out. 65°! I drive down to this new park just east of downtown where I'd been parking for months. I'm still too much of a lump to try to ride down the hill to get there and then end up climbing home. Anyway, I wanted to enjoy the weather and see what the Ohio River flooding was like around downtown. It was pretty neat, and a nice ride. There were some people along the riverfront with their kids checking out the high water, and some businessmen walking around to get to their cars. I took a spin along the river, looped around the stadiums a few times, rode over the river into Kentucky, and then headed back to the car.

As I approach the parking lot, I see some guy trying to break into my car! I shout out at him and he jumps into his SUV (of all things) to get away. I got an ok view of the license plate, and once I got home I phoned in a police report. There was some damage to the frame around my driver's side window, but that's about it. The thing that really steams me is that this is barely 100 yards from the Montgomery Inn Boathouse, a really nice restaurant with half a dozen vallets hanging out in the parking lot. I tell you it really steams my clams. See if I go down that way for a bike ride anytime soon.
