What really happened with that bike theft confrontation in South Waterfront?
Stories like this are often inherently messy. Let me try to clean it up.

Stories like this are often inherently messy. Let me try to clean it up.
An alarming bike theft incident occurred yesterday.
I have never once been so scared of losing a bike that I won’t park it around town.
The victim used a heavy-duty u-lock, but it didn’t matter.
“This guy is bad news, good to get him off the streets.”
Questions about strength and marketing.
Quite an effort to get this girls bike back.
One of the bikes was finished and awaiting its new owner.
Four MTBS are gone: An Ahearne, a Kona, a Lapierre, and an On-One.
The next bike you steal could be your last.
