About a month ago, I was downtown, on my way to Elliott Bay Bike when I saw a guy holding a nice looking mountain bike and trying to sell it to a couple tourists for twenty bucks. I started yelling at him. Don't you try and sell that bike you stole from someone!!
He scudded away... and the tourists looked very relieved.


I am sorry about your bike. (all of your bikes, actually) We've noticed an unfortunate trend in Seattle. THere is less and less $$ for law enforcement, so unimportant crimes like theft are being ignored because there aren't enough cops to do the jobs. When my husband's laptop was stolen out of his truck
they didn't even want to come to the scene to make a report. They wanted to do it over the phone.
