Right now my emotions are a bit mixed. This morning I went down to the bike rack. I usually spot my bike (because I tend to forget which side I parked it on) by seeing the light on it before I even get in the hate. But not today. I spotted the purple-ish bike, but there was no light. I got really confused. I was wondering how long someone had the same bike as me. But I looked around, didn’t see another one like it, then looked at the lock. It was my bike. Except there was no light on it. Over the weekend some cheap bastard decided to be an asshole and steal my bike light, both front and back. It pissed me off. I’m still pissed off. I need it for when I’m out at night, especially this semester, since I have a later class one day. They sell the damn lights in the bookstore, but someone just wanted to be an asshole. I’m pretty sure they tried to steal my front reflector too, because it was bent funny, but that thing is screwed on their super tight. The light my dad just put on for me and he kept it somewhat loose so I could adjust it as needed. Now there are two options for how it was stolen. No, three. One, for some reason someone was in the parking lot, they saw the light on my bike, and decided to jump the fence and steal it. I always keep my bike in the gated bike racks, because I feel it’s safer than the ones that aren’t gated. Option two is that someone who lives in the dorm and has access to get in was in there, and decided they’d like a light for their bike. Option three, someone who was with someone who lives in the dorm was in the racks with them, and stole the light. I’m guessing it was option two, because I don’t really see someone jumping the gate just for a light. If I could, I’d go to every damn door in this place and ask if they jacked my light. I’d beat it out of them, because it’s not like the bastard who actually did it would confess. And once I’d get them to confess, I’d take the light back and beat the shit out of them, just to teach them a lesson. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. I wish I could thought, because it just pisses me off. I’ve have that stupid light on there for months. I would have expected it to be stolen when I was on the main part of campus, or when I was taking a chem test last semester and my bike was one of the few around there since it was so late, or in front of the library at night, where nobody would probably notice it being taken. Not in the gated bike rack that it’s been kept in for ages. I’m just really pissed about it, and I want to punch something.
