Ok, so a few weeks ago, I wrote about how I found this bike, and was bringing it home when the owners accosted me and demanded it back. Well, the day after that happened, I found the bike again, leaning against a tree, with a bike chain around it.

I didn't think much about it, until the next day, when I saw it there again. And the day after that. And the day after that. Then I went up and inspected the chain. There was no lock -- it was just draped around the bike to make it appear as though it was locked to the tree. Meanwhile, it was sitting out in the rain and elements, on public property, unused.

A week went by, and there it stood. I was very tempted to just take it. It was, through my way of thinking, abandoned. But the chain declared dibsies. Brain aneurysm!

You should be able to predict where this is going. Wednesday night I made up my mind to go take the damn thing. But then, well, I got a bit drunk and just went home to bed. The next morning, I walked by the place where it had been standing for two weeks and, of course, it was gone.

So let this be a lesson to you kids out there. When you have the chance to steal something, don't hem and haw about the morality of it. Just hork it.
