Many people. My cousin has several pictures of him with his bike in lots of snow. Weird people live in Minnesota.... |

My guess is thaat no one in Minnesota has a Bic pen. 'The lock is attached to the rack, but is in no way attached to the bike. That's probably enough to thwart the average Minnesotan. |

| Champion 11989 Philly 'burbs | Subject: RE: Why won't anyone steal this bike? I find your reaction and your post very interesting. Seeing something like this for 4 months would make me smile. It would warm my heart to see this demonstration of my belief that all people are basically good. You shudder when you walk by and I would offer up a silent (and sometimes audible) "YES!" Chocolate and vanilla; half full or half empty; with all this horse $hit there has to be a pony around here somewhere! |

'The lock is attached to the rack, but is in no way attached to the bike. That's probably enough to thwart the average Minnesotan. This is probably true. But Mister Bear, Sir, the OP noted that the though bike had a lock "near" it, the bike was unlocked. In fact, I believe that a Cajun native of Louisiana was the only person on this thread fooled by it. Just sayin'. |

| Expert 1092 Earth | Subject: RE: Why won't anyone steal this bike? Because they know that they could only get a block or two before the would be walking again anyway. No sense stealing something that would cause you more work to take than it is worth. Chances are someone picked it up one day and found 2 flat tires, so they put it right back. So theives in Minnisota are smarter than the average bear. |

| Member 1699 | Subject: RE: Why won't anyone steal this bike? Wow, I loved this quote. -------------- In an interview Friday, Rao said he never intended to keep the bike. "How stupid would that be? I knew the cameras were there." --------------- Speaking of stupid Rao, if you knew the cameras were there, why did you take it in the first place? I guess $384K a year isn't enough to go BUY the handyman a cheap bike. |
