Unpleasant school kids must reasonably punished

:evil: :evil: :evil:

I was just in a shop for five minutes, and a crowd of school kids from the local secondary went past. When I came out, one of my new handlebar grips was gone. Just ONE! Wee buggers. If they'd stolen both I'd be just as annoyed, but at least they'd have had a sort of reason. But ONE? They must of thrown it away somewhere, as I looked all about for it. AND my bike bottle was still in the cage. Rrrrr.

A woman in a parked car told me "Oh, there was a bunch of kids stopped next to your bike. But I didn't see them take anything"

Fair enough, they didn't fit very well (not sure why) and so were easy to yank off, but they were still pristine, I was going to return them.

GODDAMNIT

ETA After a beer I am feeling much more relaxed. But still a bit pissed off.

...death is a little extreme for an unproven handle bar grip theft... :roll: :? ...as one of the school kids would say,"get over it"

Well, as no one else went past... (it is a very quiet street most of the time) and I could see out of the window)

I guess you're right. Perhaps a little sparrow took it. Also the little sparrow kicked over the bin, splashed a carton of juice over the car next to it and pushed the newsagents paperstand over?

You know what? Actually, I've missed that this is <i>excellent</i> proof of angels! ANGELS did this!

Not chavvy school kids AT ALL.

ETA: okay, I took the hump there, I admit. But come on - I spent 5 quid on saturday and now it's pissed up the wall?

You should contact their School and get them all busted. All of them, the little buggers.

*sigh* I know exactly which school they are at. And some of my friend's kids are there.

I am putting on some grips which I got in a sale a while back, that are lock-ons. More fool me for trusting in joe public.

Also, altered post title as it was a bit grumpy - but damn, I was really annoyed for a while.

I don't blame you for having the 'ump, £5 is £5. And I knew you didn't really want them dead...!

Snot-gun the little blighters in a ride by!

Don't do it to bus drivers tho', they have collection kits for DNA testing.

For some reason I get dead snotty when I exercise and I fearful that one day I'll accidentallly unleash both bores on someone about to overtake me by. I regularly snot on my dog when out running - she's lost her ID tag so doesn't make a noise anymore.

not really a basis for chav genocide but could well be a contributing factor when the revolution comes...
