Wonder Woman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Today is the second time going up Henny Alberts on my way to work and seeing a black worker riding a stolen MTB. The other day I saw a silver silverback and today a red and white Giant. I'm so tempted to ride into the guy and take the bike back but that is not right and I'm too nervous to stop and confront them because it was originally taken by force and who says this guy will not get forceful with me. So in all honesty, what should I do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeMT Posted August 1, 2012 Share Difficult accusation and assumption - what's to say his employer did not provide him with the bike due to an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted August 1, 2012 Share because it was originally taken by forceare you familiar with the bike that you know it was taken by force? i.e. someone you ride with - or is that an assumption? If you know the bike then i would get a security company involved if you have seen the chap in the same place twice - or have their number on hand and call them and follow the chap. Getting the police involved might be an option but could be difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in all honesty, what should I do?? Look for a Armed Response guy from one of the alarm companies.They work on bonuses so they will help. A simple phone call should sort out the whole thing,if he says it was given to him.....but......If he starts with.....I got it from my brother/cousin....then you know...

Ispeed_V Posted August 1, 2012 Share Why do people automatically assume that when they see a black person riding a decent bike, it must be stolen. Those are very strong allegations to make. Case in point, my gardener rides a Merida TFS 500 which I gave him in order to commute to work and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Yeah, Wonder woman, you're making an awful lot of assumptions here. Go with gummi's advice. In a case like this, his is about the only advice on this forum I'd trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenlight Posted August 1, 2012 Share You go live in a shack in winter time, work for a stuck up white guy paying minimal wages, climb into a taxi to get around, have a open broken drop hole for a toilet infested with rodents, covered with aids and other diseases. Had your family killed by whites in the previous 30 years. Have all white people driving and living the high life in beautiful homes safe comfy warm clean homes Steal a bike what a pleasure. dont blame them what do you do? be proactive! Create one job, do something small everyday if everybody helps just a little even a smile it goes a long way. wake up have you been in their shoes?? whites killed them went into their locations and dragged them out shot them dead sisters mothers fathers.. you drive by in your ac vehicle with a well paid job, good home and judge someone riding a nice bike? shame on you Joe Low 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
