gridloreMy bicycle was stolen - again! I had it locked right outside the freaking door. A good cable lock wrapped through the frame and both wheels attached to our iron railing. I locked it up there because my last bike was stolen from our locked garage.
I guess I have to fucking sleep with the damn thing!
Fuck this neighborhood. I've had it with this damn barrio where my lovely neighbors think that smashing bottles is amusing and that we all want to hear the sounds of Mexico. They can all go to hell, or go home, whichever is worse for them. I suppose I could call the cops, but the last time I got the impression that tracking stolen bikes was less than a priority for the SJPD.
Damnit, we just sank almost a hundred bucks into that bike!

kshandra is checking to see if our renter's insurance will cover the loss. Luckily, I have the model of both the bike, and the really cool lights we just added.

Date: 24 Sep 2007 06:00 (UTC)Exactly. Small properties still have the maintenance issues that require a handyman, but little overhead to pay for them -- and out of sight is out of mind. In a larger complex (or chain of smaller ones), there is a full time maintenance crew and a dedicated manager you can complain to in person. Admittedly the places I've lived have been way behind on maintenance, but they were pretty quick on light bulbs and graffiti.
