#$%@&ing Glendale...

**UPDATE!!** SO. Theify McTheiferson decided to return my bike. To the exact spot that he (or she) stole it from! Mere hours after they stole it!

Say it with me now. "THE F@#$...?"

My basket is dented and my handlebars were turned the wrong way. Some minimal repairs at the bike shop tomorrow, some new air in the tires, and I should be good as new!

So, if you've been reading this, don't go out beating up people riding blue bikes. Mine is back, safe and sound, and I can confindently say I'm never letting it out of my sight again. And I think I'm going to soak it in a thick coat of lysol now....

Okay. I apologize in advance, but I have to detract from my usual artistic bents this evening.

Someone--either some pimply-faced halfling or one of the many can-hoarders that congregate around the dumpsters outside my apartment--has STOLEN MY GODDAMN BIKE!! Out of my laundry room! They actually went into my building, strolled into the laundry area, and strolled out with my bike. Asshole!

CLICK ON IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW!!

It's a Target special, bright blue with the word "MAGNA" in white down the side. Black seat, black wire basket and a yellow sticker that says "La Bicyclette" on the front inbetween the handlebars. It's a 10-speed and, I believe, a 26 incher. It had a chain lock in the basket, which I somehow doubt is still there.

So, my faithful readers (all 2 of you), I'm asking you to help me out here. If you live in Glendale, and you see someone riding THIS BIKE that you see pictured above, tackle them to the ground, wrench my sweet 10-speed baby from their grasp, and return her to me! And I will reward you hansomely...;)
