cctv

there was a small chance that my bike had been removed by the security guards of the building, behind which i had locked it. i went round to the reception of that building today, and asked if they had taken it away for being illegally parked. they said they hadn't but then asked what time it was and the guy behind the desk showed me the cctv footage.

some guy just casually walks up to it. bends down and is fiddling with the lock for a about 15 seconds, and then just picks the bike up and walks away with it. he would have had to carry it because i had 2 other locks around the front and back wheels. he looked southern or eastern european, with dark hair, around 6 feet tall, wearing blue jeans, and a white/cream coloured jacket, and was carrying a black ruksack.

anyways, the lock that is round the rear wheel is small but tough to break and i can only hope that in his efforts to remove it, he accidently drops the angle grinder or electric saw he is attempting to cut the lock with, and it falls into groin area and it slices through his nuts. fingers crossed thats what happens.

anyways i will ring five-o and report the incident. they won't do anything but maybe they will look out for him in future if someone elses bike gets nicked.

i really am not sure if i will buy another bike. i did get to ride it for a year and half and when you consider how much people spend on running a car, then its still very good value, but its a bit upsetting having things stolen even if its not of huge value. i will think about it, but i doubt i will replace it. sad but true.

today i have mostly been listening to janes addiction - been caught stealing. dave navarro is the coolest rock star in the world. tattoos, ripped physique, eye liner, silly beard and awesome guitar solos. everything a proper rock star should be.

look after yourself vanessa.
