I thought you'd like it. Credit to Leo Stone:
Got my fixie ripped off once. I went into a 7-11, after leaning the bike
where I could see it while in the store. This punk kid (maybe14-16 years
old) grabs the bike, jumps on it and takes off. I ran out and gave chase
while screaming "stop thief!". He makes it to the alley and tries to turn
into it, but , he doesn't know that it's fixed. He's standing up pedaling
for all hes worth untill he tries to coast around that corner. You guessed
it. The pedals keep turning, his feet slip off, his nether regions hit the
top tube, the pedals are ripping the backs of his calves, and he and the
bike fall over. I'm frothing pretty good and really consider just kicking
him till he stops breathing, but think about it and just let him crawl off
while I'm screaming that I'm going to stomp your head in. I'm doing this
right over him as he crawls and he is just panic stricken. He might of wet
himself, I'm pretty scary in my road-kill commuterwear and do have a loud
voice.
Not the way he expected things would go , but instant karma pretty much.
The moral of this story is I got lucky, I should have had a lock and saved
the little misunderstood child from temptation. I know, it's my fault.
