  1. I just had an extremely close call, I was in my bed sleeping this
    morning when my mom came in and said the neighbors had just called and
    they saw a unicycle laying on the side of the street a couple blocks
    away so they picked it up and hid it behind some bushes in case it was
    mine.
    I drove like a madman to where they said it was and luckily it was
    there..

    Im almost positive it was just some dumb kids who have seen me out
    riding and saw me go home sometime so they came and got it.
    They passed up my cannondale road bike that i just put all sram
    components on..and my surly with the endomorph tires..annnd my brothers
    new specialized s works stump jumper..
    thank god they didnt touch my bikes...

    we arent sure how whoever did it got in the garage because everything
    was still locked out there this morning..

    loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'this life as you now live it and
    have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times
    more' ...- -AMOR FATI-

  2. Just reading this got me really nervous and I went to my garage to check
    if everything was still there. Those kids that took it are a bunch of
    jerks. You have some pretty smart neighbors for doing that for you!

  5. this just makes me glad that when I'm riding home I go in the driveways
    of my neighbors and then cut throught their yards into mine (I've
    always been slighlty paranoid about my uni) that way, people who just
    want to be jerks go into those yards and not mine to try to find my
    uni.

    I'm not allowed to keep mine in my room (plus my room is only twice the
    size of an average office cubicle) because "my uni would track in dirt"
    or because "there isn't enough room in the house"(my house is about 800
    sq. ft.)

    Shoes on everyone's feet track in just as much dirt as a tyre can and it
    often makes dirty footprints the floor, but nobody seems to ban shoes
    from enter the house (well apart from the Japanese, but I don't know if
    that's for dirt reasons or tradition/respect reasons).

    I can't take my shoes or uni inside the house. but I just keep my uni
    in the garage. It is always locked and the doors are always closed
    because our dogs live in the garage.

  13. Yeah, I keep mine inside, at least one in my room with me. Someone
    tried to break into my appt. (ground floor, window is blocked by bush),
    so I keep a knife beside my bed now. I'd have a gun too, but I live on
    my college's campus and no firearms are allowed.

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

    Are you sure the unicycle was in the garage?
    It is odd that they would bother to lock the garage door when they left
    with the unicycle. You'd think they'd want to leave the door unlocked
    in case they wanted to come back later for the bikes.

    It also doesn't hurt to lock up the bikes when they're in the garage.
    I know some people who have gone as far as to put eye bolts in the
    concrete floor so they can lock the bikes to something solid.
    Especially if you have a $2000+ bike. Bikes get stolen out of garages.
    I see a couple postings a year on the local MTB mailing list asking
    people to keep an eye out for a bike that was stolen from their garage.

  19. Yeah, you guys would do something like that--keep a uni in your room.
    I've been trying to talk my parents into letting me hang my beginner's
    uni over my bed...

    I might just put a giraffe on the fireplace mantel.

    You can't blame the kids for trying to steal. They just want the be
    cool...like us.

    If that makes sense.
