If he worked half that hard at his job he could afford his own ladder to help him steal that bike.

I lived there for 11 years. This is unusual only because a normal thief wouldv'e had bolt cutters with him.

This. I lived in a city where bikes got stolen on a regular basis. All the thieves had bolt cutters, it is a 1 minute job.

Bike thieves.

Ugh. Bike theft sucks, but I'd be marginally more ok with this had he put the signage back.
I initially thought the same thing, but expecting him to do that would be like expecting a sudden burst of competence from Washington DC.
cactuskid1956
Guy needs a BEAT DOWN
WillJeSuis
Thought he was being a cunt in just removing the sign until I realised the bike theft. Went form being a cunt to a thieving cunt.
elmonosabio
Fuck that guy a lot.
josanReactionPrince
And if someone dies from that he's responsible just so you know.
Mumalot
Hope he got caught...theft, vandalizing a public sign and/or public endangerment (if a car doesn't stop at the STOP sign that doesn't exist)
iamalreadyaghost
I believe the stop sign removal carries a Manslaughter charge?
Imgurians @ NewOrleans; any idea if he got caught?
any accident that is caused by "removing the Stop+OneWay sign" should be on his head.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
It would be.
FriendOfShaq
Wasn't there a group of "kids" that did this some years back and killed people at an intersection? IIRC They got charged with murder.

Some bikes are worth THOUSANDS of dollars, so yeah.

This is really prominent in Chicago. People try to chain their bikes to parking signs and you can just lift those right out of the ground.

Ha, I thought he was stealing the signs at first. Lot of effort for not much reward.

What a degenerate

RimJim
But maybe his happiness at having a bike was greater than the former owner’s sadness at losing it. Or however that went.
zapbranagan
I hope someone fails to stop and hits him at that intersection.
ElPoloDiablo
Nah, they might have their own lives. He's not wearing a helmet though, so maybe a nice slip or trip.

Right missing road hazard sign.

English is silly. When learning it, "have sex with this guy" being an insult sounded ridiculous. Since then I've learnt to abandon logic.
Idioms are one thing, but etymology and pronunciation are a wild ride. Most words are just randomly borrowed and mangled to fit, it feels.
bippityboppityBACON

blogre
You can fuck someone and make it a very bad time. Sex isn't always enjoyable for both people, so it kind of makes sense.
That's assuming you would enjoy putting your dick into this asshole.
It never implies who should do it, someone might. Also with a handy dandy knife there are infinite more holes than an asshole.
It does when you say it to an audience - one of them.
CyrusTheOk
When guys say "fuck me" around me I usually respond "eeeh you're not my type."

randomweirdness
chain through both wheels, frame, and front sprocket. You'll get the bike off, but you're carrying that fucker home.

Probably why he rolls five feet and stops.

I have a feeling you and i would get along in person
MrC0uch
Good luck doing this to my bike XD
adumpforyou
Bonus: Your precious virginity will also remain intact! You'll hit level 40 and become a wizard for sure..
Really..? The only reason I hot this thing is because I have Twin Boys that need transport to daycare.
Sm9yCg
Also the other bikes lock/chain. They can get out of your lock, but the thief has to carry both bikes. DONT lock the other guys frame though
iamdickburns
Why not just cut the chain, if you have tools to remove two road signs just get a small set of bolt cutters, most bike chains are small
gerthzilla
Use decent gauge cable
Chivatha
u-lock through the frame, a tire, and whatever you're locking it to . use a cable to get the other tire secure. not foolproof but...
Ravenbreaker
I dont think I've ever seen a small set of bolt cutters.
I don't wanna give ideas but there are ridiculously easy ways to cut through pretty much any lock/chain quickly
Cokenose365
I use logging chain for my bike
andMikesyouruncle
Bike thieves have used freon to super cool the locks and then shatter them w/ a hammer
StonesOnTheHill
Most people have an adjustable wrench laying around. Bolt cutters are not as common.
Z0op
All those road signs usually use the same kind of sizes, doesnt even need to be an adjustable wrench, just a small size 14 (i think) wrench
obviously he took the bolts out because he didn't have a set of bolt cutters, otherwise why remove the signs at all?
ererr
He had the money to buy the tools is what that other guy was getting at.. he could have bought a boot cutters, instead.
budthespudfromthebrightredmud
Ha you think he bought them.
Because you can carry these tools around for whenever the opportunity presents itself. Cant really constantly carry boltcutters around
Reviire
Not with that attitude.
thegrimreaver
Even a middling cable lock can resist bolt cutters. Cables don't cut, they just squash a bit.
ApatheticEntropy
Unless you have cable cutters. A set of Felco C-16’s should handle most cable bike locks.
Munnin41
My bike chain is bolt cutter proof, so won't always work
You can't really "proof" something. Get a bigger, more powerful version and it'll work. Or a welder.
weshallseeeee
People have also been known to use a cordless grinder
The guy at the shop assured me it would take at least 2-3 hrs to cut through with a grinder
benehar
Obviously whoever he stole tools from didnt own bolt cutter
ItsOnlyAMile
You'd think that would be in the Shitbag Bikethief Starterset.
Nah, you have to rank up to Intermediate Shitbag Bikethief Second Grade by stealing seven bikes to get your own cutters.
sear3489
At this rate I'll never make it
SciencePetsComputers
I've encountered chains that have destroyed good bolt-cutters, Ironically they were on bikes already stolen and dumped at the high-school(1)
nearby for probably pickup later, but we(custodians) take it to the lost and found. some use hardened steel and fiber reinforced plastic.
o4kill
please dm me the brands, model names, any thing you know that would help me find such chains.
I forgot the bike lock brand, but Brinx padlocks are pain to cut. Masterlocks are very weak and the rest are in between those 2 usually.
Cosmogonic
Abus is the leader in that domain. i've seen a tier 16 lock resist to an angle grinder for several minutes..
midrampage
Or it would be nice if the county or city used vandal proof nuts on their signs. No signs removed = no stolen bikes.
Jeenius
The pop rivet style? Small hammer and screwdriver.
No they make some with a flat head screw driver that only let's you turn it tighter.
bluemofia
How will they remove the sign and replace it if it gets vandalized/damaged?
They have a special tool designed to unscrew it.
ProphetofEntropy
no instead they just carry a battery powered grinder in a back pack and the lock is off in 15 secs

Plot and quote from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"
Looks like you need to go on a "Big Adventure"
MichaelAndersen88
PeeWee's bike was stolen and he was told that the Alamo's basement held clues. Got there and found out the Alamo has no basement.
shuya82
In that time that took he could have got a job and saved the money to buy his own.
meskarune
Depends. Good bikes are 700-1500 dollars.
I was exaggerating for comedic effect :-)
HellfireJags
Yeah, but that takes work.
TheGalacticLeprechaunwithtinynipples
Always thought that - besides being a big fish drug dealer, crime simply does not pay for the risk if you have any marketable skills.
scottjaeger
or, if you're dead set on being a criminal, go to business school or run for office. make something of yourself
Hypobaric
That's the thing. These people rarely have any marketable skills. They can't afford schooling and are usually from poorer areas where
they are forced to drop out of school. No jobs available and they have no choice but to steal.
f1223214
I know some of the bike that can cost up to 1000$. But yeah, if it were one of them, I wouldn't park it there.
Notme68
None of y'all have added drugs to that equation. He's probably unemployable.
yeah true. I was at a triathlon once where they had to hire a security firm for all the carbon bikes - they can cost more than some cars
but in general I mean - a bike thief is usually not rich, nor the guy selling some weed. Their higher ups, maybe. Or so I thought
