I had just put the new seat that my brother gave me for my birthday on my bike when an old Polish woman started asking me if there was a lawyer's office nearby.
I put my bike against the fence, with the lock on the ground beside it. I went to help the old woman find the address she was looking for, and intended to turn around and lock my bike up when I was finished.
As I was finishing up with her, a delivery from my mom and her boyfriend arrived - flowers for my birthday that were re-delivered because they originally went to the wrong address.
I took the flowers outside, and left my bike lock on the ground. 20 minutes later I went back outside to get a coffee, and there was my bike, gone, with the lock basically screaming "Hey! This loser forgot to lock his bike up!" from the sidewalk where my bike and its new comfy seat used to sit.
For about a second I blamed myself, then I thought "Fuck that! Someone stole my bike! I don't care if it wasn't locked for 20 minutes, it's their fault cause it's not their bike!"
So, I've heard of bike retrieval miracles, and I'm hoping for one. If you see a HYBRID BICYCLE (much like the one pictured above - same colouring but no decals) with a brand new E-GEL SEAT (much like the one pictured above - it says "E-GEL" on the side in bright fluorescent orange letters) in on or around PARKDALE-HIGH PARK please let me know!
It's not the coolest bike, but it's still warm enough to get around for free...which I need to be able to do.
I have the serial number and filed a police report.
I have a feeling it will end up at Igor's. Dammit.

Oh, don't blame yourself.
One time Jaron was riding his bike, stopped to take a photo of something, walked about 50 feet from his bike, turned around to go back to it and someone was in the process of stealing it. He started yelling and chasing the thief, but they got away. But he does have a photograph of this big fat ass, riding away on his bike.

I love when people say that. It like when my mate says 'I'll do it now in a minuite' or asking 'who's coat is that jacket?
