I'm really glad that everything ended up with the minimal damage! As mentioned above the law won't be one the side of the victim if everything unfolded as described in op. with that said I support beating the crap out of this scambag. good job, Pete! as for that moron, he probably didn't learn anything.

Jodie's fine! 
Brakes were messed up from the fall but I fixed them. She slept in the apartment with Cathy's pony last night. Poor thing was traumatized...

glad you kicked his ass. You should have bit his ears off, and gouged out his eyes with your thumbs. A good fish hook would do him good too. who knows maybe a head butt would learn him manners.

Don't mince words
Holy chainring tatoo, Taximan! That's awful and amazing! I'm glad you and the bike are okay, and sorry you had to become the Lizard (and chip a tooth in the mayhem).
People who steal are lower than low. I hope you taught the scumbag a lesson.

I think we could compete on the weirdest job ever level.
So, when will that next ride be, now that you mention it?

I like a repeat of that. I'm actually riding up from SF ...No car now... so it will be a long day for me.

Oh, I almost forgot that you're doing Marin, too. Okey-dokey, artichokey, we'll see you there!
I have to get a move on, we have to be in Davis for a laid-back ride.
Enjoy your car-less day!

Riding is my addiction
Exactly why I don't leave my bike anywhere. I always expect the worst. If I have to I just take the bike in the store with me. I get some strange looks but nobody has ever said take it outside.

Funny, I've walked thru safeway with my bike and didn't think twice about it. It wasn't until now that I realized, duh, they have bike racks (but I don't own a lock). Of course my bike takes up less space than a shopping cart, so who would complain?
