Yesterday my bicycle was stolen off of my front porch while my wife was inside on the living room couch feeding our child. The photo is not of my actual bike, but of the exact color and style of bike that was stolen. If anyone sees it, please let me know.
Now, I'm not really upset about the whole theft thing (well, ok I am, but I'll get over it), it's more the fact that it was done in broad daylight while my wife was home. There is such a sense of lawlessness in people now a days and it's only getting worse with each new generation. You think back to the 50s. Sure kids were running around racing cars, smoking cigarettes, chasing girls and drinking beer. Now we have kids raping the elderly, smoking crack, steeling from their families, murdering their families and even complete strangers for no more than a few bucks...the list goes on and on and on. And even with tightening laws and stiffer punishments, they still don't care. It's a cycle that has to stop and it has to start at home. People need to take the time to get to know their neighbors and their kids. Know who is in your neighborhood and what they're doing. It just may save your bike or your life.
