Has someone or something stolen from you? Do you know who/what it was? Did it affect you? Do you care?

Doesn’t have to be serious.

    Yep. Fucking hate thieves

    Pushbike stolen … Many times. Once was kinda my fault for leaving it out, but every other time it was some cunt working hard to get a push bike. Every time I only found out just when I was going to the bike to go some where. One time, the bike was in a secure garage with two gates and the fucker secretly tail gated a car on foot to get in and then waited for another car to leave to tailgate them.

    Motorbike stolen … it was a cheap and nasty one but still

    Apartment broken into … 18th birthday present fancy watch stolen along gaming console

      Nah, never your fault. You were just being you. Humans make mistakes. Assholes just take advantage of that fact. That garage bit there is why I always tell my girlfriend safety is an illusion. Cause like you could have some Fort Knox shit going on, and still get absolutely screwed out of something. I mean, I’m still locking my doors. I’m not saying like…I’m not, but you know - if people see something they want they’ll work their damndest to get it. I’m sorry people kept hitting you up, but I hope things are somewhat better now? At least on the homefront. I don’t know about bikes, cause those things are still being stolen like crazy.

        Cheers! Yea things are all good. The way bikes are stolen is crazy though. I’ve known otherwise reasonable people that honestly believed any bike they found that was not locked was free game. Not friends with them anymore.

          Hahaha! I had an ex who said they grew up with a neighborhood bike - because there was one, and all the kids took turns stealing it from one another =P!!!

          Someone on here said like 30% of stolen goods are bikes. Look at at least 30% of the things stolen here. Makes me laugh! But in a kinda “life’s a beach” way. It’s crazy.

          On the friends thing, doesn’t it make you wonder sometimes if they ever grew out of it or are out here acting as agents of chaos in ways we might feel but do not know =P!? Cheers!

            All the time.
