Has someone or something stolen from you? Do you know who/what it was? Did it affect you? Do you care?

My first ebike was stolen, about a week after I'd put it together. I was looking forward to zipping around my city with it. What really sucked is that I had bought it before getting laid off, and was looking forward to zipping around the city for fun while I looked for a new job. Luckily, I did find something new after 6 months and could eventually buy a new one.

That super sucks, especially the timing. I'm sorry. I hope you're in a better place now?

I am, thank you! It's pretty common in my city, the police took one look at the surveillance footage and shrugged it off. I hope the thief got a decent amount for it.

The new ebike was my first big purchase after getting the new job, and it's a ton of fun. :)

It's those small victories right? Hahaha! Thanks for putting a smile on my face =)!

p.s. - Cameras are so worthless more times than not. I was going to say most, but I do think a camera helped catch that messed up guy who killed those kids in Michigan (was it Michigan? The dorm kids). Either way, most times in my own experience cameras are worthless.
