The stocks would be better than a public flogging for the thief.
And given that tomatoes aren't selling -
there should be plenty of rotten tomatoes to toss.

Another story like this happened in my city, a man had his bicycle stolen (I think he might have been from the UK, possibly) and people got together to buy him a new one.

I think that it humbles people to hear about brave souls who travel vast distances under their own power. I can promise you that you probably wouldn't hear as many stories about a public outpouring if that gentleman had been traveling by car.

Just when you start to lose your faith in humanity, someone turns around and restores it. Bad things happen for a reason, I am sure this man will remember all of those wonderful people for the rest of his life.

Bob has his recovered bike on ebay. Nice idea.

Funny how this is the reaction to most of us who get a bike stolen!

"I stared at the tree, walked around it. It took a while for it to dawn on me that someone stole my bike and my belongings."
