Now, by this time I was getting a bit antsy, but once I get going I find it easy to keep going so off I went in an Uber to this South of SF city. The policeman who recovered the bike had said it looked in typical working order and so I should be able to ride it out. 

When I got to this new lot, I told them I was just going to ride it out. But when I walked up to my bike, I realized that was it. This bike was not going to be ridden out unless I somehow attached a pedaling apparatus to it. This is because the ignition was drilled through, the fuel tank was empty and a pallid blue-grey, and there was no way to power the bike on. It's not the policeman's fault. He might not ride bikes.

All right, well that's fine. I'll just wheel it out, call a tow, and get it fixed. Well, not so fast! When an abandoned vehicle is towed, you can't just wheel it out. It has to be in working condition to leave the lot or you need to tow it. It was 4 PM. The lot closed at 5 PM. If I missed the window, I'd have to start paying storage fees that are hundreds of dollars. Well that's a bit crazy, I only just got the call that day!

Anyway, I called my tow guy and out he comes with his truck, takes the bike and sends her to the shop. All is well. We beat the clock, hurray! But why would someone do that to this bike?
