Bolts got stollen, loosing temper!!
Oh man, someone or something just keep stealing my baby bike bolts, no idea why but after some day one bolt was missing, I test and eventually found out that it is not my illusion, i always put the skewer on the side, couple days later, I saw it stood up, I knew something wrong already, I check it and all my skewer springs are gone, that is lately, couple weeks ago, after holidays, I returned home and my rear brake adjuster is gone, my derailleur bolts etc, especially skewer spring, they re all dissappear. This kept continues untill now, I had all of them replaced and keep them right under my bed.
funny thing is my bike is in secure garage, they don't steal the whole bike but parts of parts
, I gave up, now only my frame stay out there, the wheels and group are now under my bed.
Have to wait for the brake adjuster arrived to fix, campy adjuster is hard to find and it is EXPENSIVE.

It looks like they've succeeded in making you paranoid enough to disassemble your bike every night and literally sleep with it under your pillow.

Maybe Radar is shipping it back to Iowa one piece at a time.
THAT, my friends, is an obscure reference that few under the age of 35 will get.

Sounds like a prank, either on the OP or by the OP.
Dude, has anyone asked you how your bike is doing? If so, they probably have a bag of baby bike bolts.
I think this became an acciderntally good tongue twister that I noticed when I read it back for typos.
