Brooks Saddle Thief (Dead or Alive)

Over the past week and a half an alarming number of very worn in brooks saddles have been getting stolen. The thief seems to be operating in a small area between the ferry building and third street, not straying to far off market. About four messengers i know have lost their deeply broken in saddles and i have noticed more people that usual walking their recently dethroned bikes. Lets catch this *******! If anybody has any leads, or has bought a heavily broken in Brooks, write me. Their original owners will happily pay a reward for their saddles back, or to watch a public execution of the culprit.

I thought it was kind of funny. I've never seen locals get so mad that they resort to the Victorian Era.

anyone caught stealing a Brooks will have their Hands cut off so they cannot steal again. And for good measure they'll have their butts cut off too so they may never again experience the comfort of a tensioned leather saddle.

You guys crack me up! I was just browsing for a new saddle and I saw this listing. I thought it was pretty comedic -- gave me a good chuckle.
