I don't know about other people, but if I was going to steal stuff out
of a pile like that, I would take a unicycle because it is unique and to
say I have one. I would take the scooter to [censored] em off even more. I
wouldn't take the b*ke for rear of geting cought. They would get in much
more troubl for a fully loaded bmx b*ke. Thats all from a
non-unicyclists view pont. Can't help you on the borrowing the uni
thing, you live half a country away.

Why should anyone trust this. Maybe you didn't get your unicycle stolen
and you just want someone's uni for free.

It's robbery either way doesn't really matter what you take. If you
steal something from someones property I think it's pretty much all the
same charge.

Mabye if it was in as bad condition as you say, someone close to you
"Stole" it and will be giving you a new one soon as a gift? I dunno,
might happen.

I once watched a interview with the Dali Lama (stay with me here). He
was asked if he was angry with the ones who terrorized and tortured his
people and homeland.

He though a moment and answered: "No, I have compassion for them".

The interviewer quickly responded in near shock: "What...these people
who killed so many of your people then ran you from your homeland - you
have compassion for?"

The Dali Lama smiled and answered: "Yes, I know what they will have to
experience someday, and so I have compassion for them."

So, for the person(s) that took your uni - Karma is always the great
equalizer. Feel sorry for them and move-on. Remember that what you sow
you reap.

I've had 4 bikes stolen from me over the course of my life, something
like 30 CDs, and a bunch of random other stuff. The people that steal
these things aren't really going to care if they get stuff stolen from
them, because they'll just steal a new one anyway.

I don't feel compassion for them. They aren't likely to get caught, and
even if they do I'm not going to be all "oh, I'm sorry you're in jail
now." I pity them just a little bit because I doubt they can trust
their friends or anyone else in that little f-edup klepto scene that
they are apparently in. They also probably has lousy childhoods.
However, compassion? Not really.

Someone who wants to play with them, not resell them. Your thief (or
thieves) is not trying to make money, they want to try them and/or break
them. They have probably already lost interest and discarded them. The
hard part is figuring out where.

Thieves suck. We need better forms of punishment for them.

But until that happens, always treat perfect neighborhoods with a grain
of salt. Keep your car and house locked, and don't leave things sitting
out where they might tempt passing buttholes.

His avatar says San Jose, which is one of the biggest cities in
California. In a small enough town, you actually can afford to be much
more trusting.

To read about my experience from a few years ago, do a search on "uni
thief arrested" or similar. I tried it just now, and was unable to find
the right one. It happened in 2000.

Yes, I understand your point of view - it's very rational.

I can only speak for the things that bring me peace, gratitude and
happiness in my own life. For me, there have been some hard life lessons
that have brought me here (and I'm still learning)...

Maybe they'll learn to ride your unicycle, come online looking for new
tricks and stuff to learn, and then, when they least expect it you can
ask them to give you back your unicycle.
