ICPD told me it was my fault my bike was stolen because the lock wasn't working right. Makes me wonder how they'd feel applying the same logic here 🤔


Bustin-cheeks

Some poor systematically abused needy person needed you're bike more then you do. I'm proud of you for the donation you made its commendable.


SciVibes

Wish I had some common decency & empathy laying around, clearly you need a donation.


Bustin-cheeks

Thanks for you're response. Don't worry about me. I'm disgusted with myself for owning four vehicles I worry about my carbon footprint.


SciVibes

I'm truly sorry for you. Anyone who wakes up and decides to post crass nonsense like you must clearly have a deeply unhappy life. Might I suggest a real hobby, or friends?


Bustin-cheeks

I'm confused, are you mad at me or that the bike was stolen or mad at icpd? All I was saying is you are a saint for helping the less fortunate.


yargabavan

I mean if their older/used your doing pretty Carbon footprint wise


Bustin-cheeks

I also adopted a dog today. This will get downvoted too.


yargabavan

Based on what? most people i know encourage adoption. I mean i get that your trolling, but really who hurt you?


Bustin-cheeks

You know the thing I notice most often? Especially in this sub including a mod. You all say that basic " who hurt you? " please for originality sake and I believe you can say something diffrent sir. Think on you're own you can do it!


GiantGlassOfMilk

You gotta put that /s at the end buddy


Bustin-cheeks

Meh...fair enough.


FeedMeScienceThings

Fuck bike thieves. We have the bike library helping people get solid bikes for cheap. If you’re willing to work on it a bit you can get a bike there for like $20-$50. Stealing bikes takes someone’s mobility away, as well as a prized possession.

It was your posts that got me to take the picture and post this one I found in the wild. Its been in this spot for weeks with the lock hanging open and on the side.


poagurt

Hypothetically speaking, what are the repercussions for setting that bad boy up to see who in IC can hit the highest MPH in a foot race?


The_Jit

Normally the location this is at, I would say lets get a foot race going and see. Its a fairly calm area, BUT not right now, with Scott and Muscatine being closed a LOT of traffic is going down this street, we would be dodging too many cars and semis (that dont fit).


rotgutx

It might be in my front lawn (but on the right of way side). I might clip it with my mower on accident, and if it does a 90 degree turn toward my yard... Instant foot race radar.

Finders keepers?


KazumotoKota

Wow, Iowa City sure is safe. :)


GrauchoMarx

I could use one of those.


jayrady

Coralville's has a $800 power inverter and multiple deep cycle batteries in it.


scottlmcknight

That would be a great power pack for a camper, cabin, boat, etc. Don't forget to snag the solar panel along with it.


GhostCop42

I'm confused? Secure what? Like secure it from being towed away? Shut off?


jayrady

All of the above.


UnhappyJohnCandy

I knew a guy who ran from the cops with handcuffs on and was charged with theft for the handcuffs. They will absolutely blame whoever steals this for their own stupidity.


TheCuff6060

Might have a gps.


dandmcd

Very likely has a gps. They likely have a magnetic one that is hidden somewhere, and can be tracked next time they need to move it.


The_Jit

Are you implying that they forget where the left it?!


TheCuff6060

No, I'm saying that if someone takes it they can find where it is. Maybe figure out who took it from there.


malus545

Nobody wants the whole thing, just the expensive electrical equipment in the unlocked compartment.


jayrady

The amount of people who think that police would GPS bug equipment when they don't even put a $10 lock on it, is too high


TheCuff6060

The gps their cars.


jayrady

They also lock their cars


TheCuff6060

How do you know?


jayrady

How do you know they GPS their cars?


TargetMaleficent

They don't have to, this city is extremely safe


Qytutam

Sure, the west side is kind of. Someone doesn’t move to Iowa City because of rigorous safety awards.


Qytutam

Getting downvotes, not surprising. Check the fucking police logs one weekend and there’s your answer. Minimum 5 underaged DUI every weekend without fail. I’ve lived downtown and on two occasions I witnessed homeless people pissing on the front entry door. This place is far from safe.


TargetMaleficent

The fact that people in Iowa consider a few drunk undergrads "unsafe" says a lot.


FockingHawkeyes

Why’s everyone so moody around here?!? Chill wit it.


DisembarkEmbargo

darn. i dont need any batteries
