Long story short my bicycle was stolen this week.
Yeah. Hahhaha finally get back to riding & Some asshole decides that what I have worked for and put so much love into should be his.
A friend of mine told me to do my best to find the positives in the situation. As much as I wanted to I couldn’t find any until I started looking.
When I filled my police report & Gave the officer my flyer. He was both super upset for me & Stoked to talk about BMX with me. He was checking out my bike and asking me lots of questions. Alot of them pertaining to riding the newer bikes and not so much police stuff. The guy was so pumped to help me find my bike.
I was so appreciative of him. Before I left I made sure to shake his hand and thank him. His response was “Hell yeah we gotta get your bike back.
From there I went to every Pawn shop & Bicycle shop. Every burrito place I eat at. Every gas station I frequent. Just passing out flyers and realizing how I carry myself in everyday situations has led to alot of people on my side.
OH and I tracked down a pro rider that I knew was here in town. He was probably the most sympathetic to my cause and genuinely wanted to help me out.
I know I have been very emotional about this whole thing But my face must have told the whole story because he offered to go hit the skate park sometime once I got all this figured out. I thought that was incredibly nice.
So its been a few days now and I have calmed down a bit. The first few nights I sat on patrol in my car watching the street when I believe the theft took place. Just being crazy and waiting for some suspicious motherfucker.
I’m honestly glad I have seen anyone with my bike yet for the sole purpose of me not being in jail. I even told the cop that when he asked me why I waited almost a day to report it. He laughed and understood.
It just sucks that I had a few parts on my bike that cannot be replaced due to availability now & My set of DECO flatland pegs that were the only set in its color.
It will be my life mission to find those. Because If I see them. They are mine. No doubts or anything. They are mine.
SO YEAH. Going to build up a new one and not let this stop me.
