![]() Gaze into the eyes of a professional bike thief, loyal readers. This gentleman was met leaving from our backyard by my pal and roommate Jon Knowles. It was 3:30pm (IN THE AFTERNOON! IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!) and Jon was leaving for downtown, when he ran into this smiley chap, happily making off with Tamara's (yet another roommate) bicycle, named MiniMinnow. He greeted Jon, and cheerily said "What's up?" In point form, the events were as follows: - Jon informs thief that this is not his bicycle. - Theif informs Jon that he "borrows bikes here all the time." - Jon corrects him, and asks him to hand the bike over. - Thief apologizes, but makes no effort to return the bike. - Jon takes the bike from him. At this point, Brent Wadden (roommate, aussi) ran downstairs and takes the opportunity for a photo-op, snapping two or three pictures of our handsome thief, who didn't seem to really mind in the least. After having his photo taken, he quickly made off, in a manner best described as shifty. Why did Brent decide to take out the camera? Who knows really. I think a better question might be: What is this person doing with a NEEDLE BEHIND HIS EAR?! |
