stolen bike

[Bob]

Bob, I sure do like your picture, or is it your signature or maybe your avator all I know is it's a dandy!

I'll trade you the avatar for a day on the beach, thanks!

It was a very stout braided steel cable about the thickness of your thumb.. I was thinking later that 15 bucks will buy you cheap Chinese bolt cutters that will defeat that cable. Bye, bye bike. My daughter's roomate carries her foldable bike up to the dorm room. I suggested that scenario today. She'll be walking to class at least until she comes home for Turkeyday. A new bike will be waiting.

Awww!!! ​

You are such a trader, Bob! Are you getting the foldable bike or a regular bike with a bodyguard?

Foldable for brilliant, yet idealistic daughter. It weighs 23 lbs. and is available at....where else WalMart

That's a wonderful ending to the story! I like when there's no bad guy...

me too.

My daughter called me in tears today over her freshly stolen bike. Her roomate's folding bike is in the background of the photo. I think we'll adapt, because Sarasota is as unsafe as anywhere I guess.

that stinks...

Whoever nicked her bike did so with a thought out plan. Those cables are made out of braided wire and can't be cut cleanly as in the picture without a pair of center pull wire cutters. Center pull what? Exactly...not really something Average Joe has hanging on his tool board in the garage...especially, a pair that is large enough to cut a cable that size.

I'd wager that it was a crew...

The campus is by the airport and a lower shelf neighborhood. My daughter's bike was cheap, but looked better than almost every other rusty bike there[salt air]. My idea is to remove the temptation instead of riding a gnarly bike. The Barney Fife campus police guesstimated it was the work of early A.M. methheads. They never sleep, and need things to do. Metheads with mechanic dads say I.
