If, by some chance, the person or persons unknown who keep jacking my bike is/are reading this:

FUCK YOU

After your last joyride on my bike, everything that is possible to be out of alignment is, the front brakes are disengaged and bent out of shape, there's no cable tension in the rear shifter cable, and, in fact, the rear shifter itself may be damaged. In addition, my seat is further damaged, and everywhere cables are mounted on the bike, they've been torn off, though I've managed to mostly fixed that.
I don't have the tools, time, or parts to fix any of this.
So, if you're reading this...yeah. you've probably cost me an old workhorse of a bike. Try having some respect for the property of others, asshole.

I feel your pain. When in high school, dipshits in the Auto Shop / Metal Shop (which was conveniently located RIGHT NEXT to the bike racks... SMART!) would either A) Steal my crank, or B) yank the handlebars off of the bike.

Over high school, I went through 3 bikes, and probably another 3-5 crank/handlebar sets. It was a total pain in the ass.

Plant a bomb in your bike. That way, when someone tries to steal it and doesn't disable it, they'll be in for a world of hurt.

And if anyone complains, point out that they shouldn't be trying to steal your bike to begin with.

Of course, this would probably have the end result of the loss of a bike, but wouldn't it be worth it? ;P

at Bard during the semester I was there, some guy had his bike seat stolen. Just the bike seat so he went on a campaign to get it back by posting signs all over campus, I don't think he ever got it back. Maybe a lock and chain is in order?
