Bike Thieves

I understand why someone would steal a bike. They need transportation and can't afford to buy a bike or a bus pass and no one taught them that stealing is bad. I wonder, do they feel bad when they steal the bike?

Usually bikes are locked to a pole or bike rack to deter thieves. Breaking a bike lock is tim-consuming and takes quite a bit of effort. If you have the tools to break into bike locks, why not wait a little longer, save up some money and buy a used bike?

If you steal bikes because you think it’s fun or funny, it isn't for the bike owner. Find something else move your funny bone,  such as watching cat videos on YouTube.

To all you bike thieves: You are stupid, selfish people. Straighten up.

To all you people who have had your bike stolen: I am sorry for your loss. If you didn't lock up your bike, well you had that coming. Here are some tips for your replacement bike:

• Use two different types of locks, a U-shaped lock and a flexible one.
• Always lock up your bike, no matter what the occasion.
• Take off the bike seat because it will make for an uncomfortable and slow getaway if someone is going to steal it.
• Finally, write down the serial number of your bike and take a picture of it. If it gets stolen and you report it to the police, it will be easier for the police track down.
