Editing Motorcycle Theft (section)

== How ==

I didn't have a garage back in those days, so I used to use the street to park. Most people who park on the street use a [[wikipedia:Disc-lock|disc lock]], which goes on your brake disc and stops the wheel from turning. Now the thing about this bike is that it's old, at the time of the theft it was already some 10 years old. The original guy who kept it treated it like it was gold so it was in great shape, but it was still an old bike.

To be honest, I should have known better than to keep it on the street because someone ran into it while it was parked in the street and destroyed its front wheel. Perhaps getting it fixed attracted some interest: one could imagine that the shiny new front brake disc would make the bike look absolutely prime. In any case, I had the bike sitting outside without a disc lock. I did all the maintenance I needed out on the street and there wasn't any garage space nearby for me to use anyway. This was the only way to live.

So what happened is that one day, in the middle of the night, a guy showed up and wheeled the bike away down the hill and then probably off onto the back of a truck or into a van.
