Why would anyone do that?

Some malicious bastard has stolen the front wheel off every bicycle in our apartment building garage. Including mine.

Boy, that's a weird thing to do. Sorry about that, Styleygeek. Must be annoying.

bummer - if they had just stolen one I'd I've assumed that someone really wanted a unicycle....but unfortunately that happens enough around here that I have to chain the bike through the frame and front wheel! BOO!

That is really weird. Hope they catch the little brat!

That might be worse than stealing all the seats...which happened to me.

That is really amusing, especially as it did not happen to me.

That sucks! Sorry to hear that, StyleyGeek.

Mean people do suck.

Wolfa, I was amused for about five minutes too, until it sank in that it DID happen to me.

Twirly, the worst thing is that I often DO chain through the frame and the wheel. Just not yesterday. (And admittedly not generally in our garage (which is LOCKED)).

Oh, and the chili thing was me dying a friend's hair bright red.

Thanks for the tip, Morton. Considering my bicycle probably isn't worth much more than $20, I don't think I'll even try buying a new wheel from a bike shop. I'll go round some markets and second-hand places and see if I can find a written-off bike with a wheel I can remove and put on mine instead.

And I'll be far more careful about putting the lock through the wheel and frame in the future.
