      I wonder if some just go “ah fuck it, don’t talk to me, just take the bike back…”

        lol sure, some have. How many bike thieves are there in a small city of about a little more than 100k, and who is buying those stolen bikes? I imagine he has regulars he’s visiting now when a bike is stolen xd
