Default Why do people feel the need...

... to fuck with other people's shit?

Last night (what I'm assuming were) some drunk clowns decided to take the cover off my locked bike and sit on it, and then proceed to take the cover with them. Probably just threw it somewhere.

What are they going to do with a bike cover?

I mean, I am an alcoholic and do dumb drunk things all the time, but I sure as hell don't fuck with other people's shit...

I needed to take it off the road pretty soon anyways, so it's not a big deal in that sense, but still fucking annoying and unnerving. Not to mention a good bike cover is like 75 bucks.

Thanks, dickwads.

To mess with someone's bike is bad, but to actually take a cover off a bike is totally un-cool. Sucks that your cover is gone too.

Sorry to hear about your dealings with the scum of the earth.

Any way to lock the cover on the bike? My car cover has a cable lock

That's really gay. You're an engineer right? Rig up some wires under the cover and run an extension cord under the ground. A nice big dose of Alternating Current tends to make a person think twice about fucking with peoples shit.

that's fuck'n weak...

should invest in a 2nd seat and install little prongs so that when they sit down it stabs them in the junk... then attach the other end to the battery...

poof... you've just chlorinated the gene pool!

Yeah I had a little cable lock that could be routed through the grommets on the cover... it became too much of a hassle to add to the list of things to do to free up the bike for a short trip.

Oh well... basically it ended up going to my garage a week earlier than I had planned, not a big deal... just annoying and unnerving.

Ok, maybe you could come help me bring it up to the third floor of this historic brownstone my apartment is in?

Friday afternoon, I went to lunch with a couple of friends from work and we were sitting at a table against the glass. A guy that works there pulled up on his GSXR and parked it right next to us on the side of the building. About 10 minutes later a few guys show up and walk by the bike on the way in to the restaurant and one of them starts touching all over the bike and pointing to things to his buddies, squeezing the brake lever, trying to flex the windscreen, etc.

One of my buddies I was with also rides and we just stopped eating and stared at the guy with a "what the fuck do you think you are doing?" look with food in our mouths. He must have assumed it belonged to one of us because his eyes got real wide and he walked away. We stared at him some more when they came in and they ended up taking a table in the far corner away from us. It wasn't even my bike and it pissed me off seeing that shit.
