Some good news

Just to let you guys know I recovered my DeKerf.

I was catching a bus up to Bondi Junction last Saturday, feeling pretty gloomy at the time as I shouldn't of been on a bus at all. Not happy with public transport as it was ten minutes late. Going through the mall, staring vacantly out the window, I look up to see a street guy leaving Gelatissimo, a milkshake in one hand and wheeling my bike in the other. Half a busload of people from Tamarama to Bondi Junction on Saturday morning think they caught the bus with a nutcase, However, the driver got it and quickly pulled up and let me off. Adrenaline and anger, sprinting at full stretch, came up behind him in a side street, dropped the shoulder, ripped the bike out of his hand.

Won't go into the pleasantries in the verbal exchange.

My favourite street machine is now at home, none the worse for the experience. Lucky. There was maybe a 15 second interval where we crossed paths.

Thanks again for your help.

Matt

Old Man?

That really u Matt?. U don't seem like the shoulder charge type. Hope Easts Leagues didn't get it on CCTV or you'll be off to the Judiciary for sure.

Nice one tho

Somebody took my Van for a drive without Permission Also

Have no idea when it happened (think it took me about five days to realise it was gone.)

It kinda came in really handy sometimes... u know for carrying stuff like bbq's, Eskys, my grandmother, your grandmother and bikes. It also meant that i can't chuck all my belongings in it and move interstate without buying a new one....

Sometimes I actually really need to take life a little more seriously and care about others peoples lives instead of my own. Thats why i occasionaly drive my car... I'm getting a little teary now.
