Motorcycles are in town by the thousands for Street Vibrations. This evening the Reno Police released helpful advice on avoiding motorcycle theft during the event.
They suggested parking your bike, chaining it up, leaving the area, then coming back in five minutes and looking our for suspicious characters hanging around your bike.
Or, I suppose, to check if your bike is still there.
Imagined reactions of Fred and Irma from Heartland, USA, a couple that decided visit Street Vibrations after Fred bought one of those side-car equipped wonder cycles that has more features than most luxury cars.
"Ohmigod, Fred, call the police!"
"Irma, honey, that dude ain't trying to steal our ride--"
"He's peeing in my seat!"
(I'm not trying to imply that all participants are going to drink heavily and get new tattoos, but finding suspicious characters is not going to be all that difficult.)

Awful thought, someone peeing in your seat...not sure what the police could do about that. LOL :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a highly fictionalized version of a true event. Six or seven years ago I was walking in a Wal-Mart parking lot toward the store to start my shopping, when I saw a man peeing on a car tire. There were bushes around, but he'd picked to pee on a car. I suppose he figured the owner's wouldn't have realized it was a human, and he didn't expect me because it was late, late and he was in a dark area. Well, I sped up and got inside the store. At that point I realized that the bathrooms in the front of the store were closed for cleaning and he would have had to go find the bathrooms way in the back of the store. But I still thought he was nuts.
