Theft
I lost some material items on Friday - a $250 bike light, $5, a couple of CO2 cartridges, the chuck that screws on top of them and essentially my seatpack since the zipper was broken during the theft. Yea maybe I was stupid for leaving the bike light on the handlebars, but it takes a bit of effort to put in on the bars and to remove it, and there's no reason I would have ever thought to take the seat pack off. Where did this offense occur? In a place where I figured my bike would have been safe - the doctor's section of the parking garage at work, right in front of a security camera and near a door where there are people going in and out during the day. Well as it turns out the security camera wasn't working, so there is no footage of the person hijacking my stuff. I'm more than pissed that my stuff got stolen, but I won't make the mistake of leaving anything outside from this point on. I will be taking my bike inside this week. If they are going to take time to steal stuff off of it, who's to say they don't mess with the components. I not only lost material things, but I've lost a bit of peace of mind too. I try not to worry about things, but now I'm going to go back to being paranoid I suppose. I'm going to make a point of complaining about the non-functioning security camera. It's not like we have the best and brightest people around, and we're not exactly in the best location; but for pity's sake, let's fix the security camera so that the next person doesn't get ripped off or worse - beaten up or injured!!!
