That bike was like a child to me

I hate not having a bike, it's like being disabled or something. I have to walk around everywhere on my feet. Hmm, okay, it's nothing like being disabled. But that bike was like a dog to me. Like a child to me. I mean, it came everywhere with me and I, uh, breast-fed it and stuff. Hmm, okay, it was nothing like a child to me. But I'm still going down to the cop shop to report it stolen, despite everyone's insistence that it won't do any good.

I have a picture of it on my desk that I'll take with me, just in case they want to help matters along by putting it up on their wall. I'll take it out of the silver frame first though. I don't want them to think I'm a nut-job or anything.

  2. The "won't do any good" policy is what keeps the police having to auction out 90 bikes every summer.

  3. Is the serial number registered with the police or whatever organization works with those sorts of things?

    Good luck with the coppers. Hopefully they'll be able to return it to you safe and sound.

  4. The police do occasionally find bikes. My brother had his stolen in Southampton, reported it to the police and a few days later they returned it to him.

    I don't want to imagine what'd be left of Bjarni after a run in with bolt cutters either.

  5. In case you want to buy a new one, my friend got a new bike for under 5000 by going over to Góði Hirðirinn, (right by mom and dads house) paid 1500 for a new bike, went to a work shop to tune it.. and it shouldn't be too expensive to have them work on it, they did mine for 2700 last friday :)

  6. Iceland's not that big, right? How many places can there be to hide a stolen bike? Aren't you likely to see some dude riding it and be all "Hey, asshole! That's my bike!"?

  7. Thanks Lora, I think I will check it out. I'm not buying another expensive one again anyway.

    I'm SURE I'm going to see some dude riding around on it! I will cleverly take a picture of them with my phone and then ask him for his social security number. Then, once they've ridden off again I'll give Jack Bauer a call and he'll handle the rest.

    Apparently they get exported and sold abroad though.

  8. Hey, I saw a song yesterday titled "Happy as Annie", and thought you might like it.

    Turns out it's not very good, doesn't mention 'Annie' once and is about a guy who finds a dead, raped girl in a park.

    There'll be a song about you sometime, I'm sure.

  10. Poor Annie.

    Are they like the Dutch, stealing bikes as a hobby?

  11. You mean they wrech the bikes away from their parents and sell them abroad, forever separating them from the only home and family they've ever known?! EVIL FUCKING BIKE-TRAFFICKING BASTARDS. May they be slowly gnawed to death by a horde of syphallitic lemurs.
