thieves deserve to die a slow, painful death.

So no, never.

Nope cause i couldn't wear anybody elses!

Plus didn't your mommies teach you stealing is wrong? Mine did.

It's never even crossed my mind. If I wanted someone's gear I'd wave some cash at them. As for my gear, if the situation warrants it I'll leave it on the bike, which really doesn't matter because I don't have locking saddlebags. I'm not afraid of anything gwetting stolen but I take the key with me just to make sure I didn't leave it on and drain my battery. If somoen wants to steal the whole bike a couple three guys could do it. But let me catch you stealing my bike or something on it. Seriously, let me catch you. I promise you'll never do it again.

No, I don't think about stealing gear. But I worry about someone stealing mine.

I dunno if you're the ONLY one, but I've never even considered it for a second. Karma, my friend... karma.

I've only given wondered WHY people would leave their stuff unsecured, to ever take something that is not mine never even occurs to me.

neebelung · 10-16-2008, 02:19 PM

Eh, if we're on an all day ride, and we park the bikes to walk somewhere for lunch, or anywhere where we can't see the bikes, we'll lock everything up. But at bike nights and that sorta thing, where I can see the bike/I'm nearby, I've left my jacket and gloves (and occasionally helmet) on it. (depends where I am and just how close I can stay to the bike)

No, my only thought is, "damn, I could have some nice stuff if I weren't an honest person," but that's as far as it goes.

Although, several years ago, I pulled into the parking lot at a local store and saw a cart sitting there with a case of beer in it. NOBODY was in the parking lot. I hung out for a bit, then put the beer in my car. Bad Captain. Went in and did my shopping and boredom browsing. Went to the register to pay for the stuff I bought and as I was walking away, a woman came up to the register I was at and asked the cashier if anyone had turned in a case of beer that she left in the parking lot. I told her it was in my car and gave her the beer. Good Captain.
