[Carmichal]

I'm more confused than mad. Why just the front tire?

[Nemesis]

Easy to take and good tires can still be worth some cash.

Or it's someone who popped their tire off and took it with them because then it's not worth taking.

Supply and demand.

Check craigslist, they could list the tire for sale, bam you have your douche bag who stole it.

It's my bike. That bike is older than me I hope the crash.

[SCRIBBLE]

This has always been a thing, especially with quick release tires. Take a walk near any bike rack at a college and it is more of a bike graveyard than anything. Takes ~2s to to pop off and probably sold to a pawn or bike shop for $20. Petty theft often goes unreported and even when done so no one gives a shit unless there is absolutely no people of color around or no one else to pull over.

Get an integrated chain lock and weave it through both sets of spokes.

[Carmichal]

calling all the pawnshops and bike shops

[SCRIBBLE]

do you have the serial number of the rim on hand? if not, you are probably shit out of luck

[Carmichal]

It's insured by my father they might.

[Assassin]

Really...insured?

[Steamer]

It's an OG Diamondback mountain bike before company was bought it. Actually worth a good bit of money... Come to Baltimore, indeed a thing.

To Nem: It was a darkie riding single rear tire wheelies that got lazy that most likely stole it. Yamean?

[euronews]

ive seen this happening to so many bikes

Unicycle > Wheelies

[Steamer]

Touche. You win this time good sir on technicality but, is it not an unicycle if there is no front wheel on the said bike to begin with?

[CYBER]

What's the point of just the front tire?
because the back tire is linked to the chain and bolts ? and so it is significantly faster to steal the front tire for some quick cash.


Sources: I'm mexican.

well made a police report so that if he tries to pawn it it will show up, and he will go to jail. also keeping an eye on craigslist.

It will be pawned, sold, and used. No one is going to do anything for this type of "petty" misdemeanor. Said person will not go to jail, more than likely a few hours of community service if caught, which said person will not be. The tax dollars are not worth your dad's tire. This is why people in Baltimore chain it through the frame to both tires. Sucks though. :/

[What]

How much could that possibly be worth at a pawn shop? I'm pretty sure he (or she) wouldn't get more than 10 dollars for it since the person pawning a single bike tire is in no position to haggle.

Police will send a notice to local pawn shops. That's how it works. Also called all in the area. And bike shops. Idc how much the wheel is worth bastard deserves to be punished. Also it helps the police see if they need more cops in the area, meta data. I'm also going to put up signs in the area asking for info. I WANT MY WHEEL DAMN IT!

[Steamer]

The pawn shops will sell the shit anyway, or he will sell it to buddy or bike shop. Neither will do shit. Trust me, I know how these things work. Nigga ain't the only one that stole yo bike. No one is going to do shit. Simple lesson of the ways of the world since intelligent lifeforms. BTW, if original, that wheel is worth over 100$. Unless the area is filled with multi thousand dollar bikes like mine they well not care. Police enforcement and judicial branches are highly enriched by the private sector. Prisons being one, which could care less if not grand theft.

[Meltdown]

Thaths why i ride the most ugly bike ever made in exsitence, as there worth absolute nothing and there for they won't be stolen, as for my good bike i only use that one when i'm going on vacation or 100% sure i can stall it somehwere safe.

came here to make a unicycle joke, you beat me to it :-/

a friend of my brother's was known around my small town for being able to ride a unicycle, he did this because a bike when he was younger got a flat tire, so instead of getting a new one he tried to see how far he could get on just one

he's quite talented with it now

"Hey man you really need this shit. C'mon, don't you just hate it when you go outside and your front tire got eaten by those rough Dallas polar bears? What'd you mean there's no polar bears in Dallas? $15? $10.01? *whimpers*
