As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

We had a "Bike Rave" in my city on Saturday. The event was awesome, good tunes, great vibes, massive turnout.

But I left my bike unattended for five minutes to take a piss, and all of my shit got stolen. My bike, backpack, helmet, gopro, hoodie, everything. I got stranded and had to walk back home. Ran into an acquaintance on the way home who gave me a couple of cigarettes as a consolation prize.

The good news is that I still have wheels, I've got a skateboard and I can still get around town. I had my wallet and phone on my person so that wasn't lost.

Take care of your things folks, and always have a backup in case bullshit thieves take advantage of you.

That sucks so much, I'm sorry that happened to you.

We should all look after our stuff, but I also wish people didn't face material conditions that made them feel like they need to steal other people's shit
