Agree completely!

If not, maybe the owner of the other bike does, and has ended up thinking they 'own' the pipe you locked your bike to.

Or maybe someone is playing a misjudged practical joke for the festive season.

For 4 1/2 years. It's park of my parking space.

Uhm, maybe the other bike was a christmas present for you?

Only logical explanation I can come up with. (a bit far-fetched I admit)
But then the key to the cable should be under your welcome mat or something...

Maybe I should take more pictures of the offending bike because it is not in the kind of shape to offer as a gift. Totally usable but also totally used.

Lots of tape and tape residue all over it.

Maybe you should unlock YOUR bike and take it inside, of course you'd need to take anything attached to it too.

That was one of the evil things that crossed my mind but I don't have anywhere to put them inside. The exterior of my side of the building is being painted this week, so everything has to be kept off the balconies. All my patio furniture is taking up the space in the 2nd bedroom.

Daffy ~ If it makes you feel any better, I think you have very nice handwriting for an irate person (completely justified, of course). My 21 year old son and I were just talking about the "entitlement" generation. People think they are entitled to do what ever they like. This seems like just another instance of assumed entitlement. What would really be great is if you had one of those little spy cameras so that you could catch the culprit on tape and then post it on YouTube with accompanying vocal commentary explaining the situation.

Thanks for the handwriting compliment. Notice it was in red the color of my rage.

We actually do have security cameras all over the building including the garage. If I need to I can ask the maintenance super to let me look at the DVR footage. If it happens again, I might do that.

What? You mean a Kindle doesn't have a built-in video camera?

My bike is locked to a pipe in front of my parking spaces in my condo building. No, I hadn't planned on riding it today but it's the principle of the thing.

I've left a note telling them not to do it again and that if it isn't removed soon, I'm going to have the cable cut and the bike move elsewhere.

In the scheme of life it isn't that big of a deal but still, I'm really livid right now.

Sorry about that, duck. Let us know what happens. And it IS a big deal......they invaded YOUR personal space. You just don't do that.

Unbelievably rude and arrogant. Would love to hear that persons explanation........"Well, it was here and no one was using it so I figured I could..........."

And I keep getting a picture of Daffy the duck jumping up and down a la a "Donald Duck" meltdown...............

I just talked to the maintenance guy for the building. He doesn't have s cable cutter on site but he'll bring one from home tomorrow and if the bike it still there... we'll get ta cuttin'!
