Stolen Wheels

if people have stuff nicked from the george check the saturday market at kingsland rd and middleton st e8

let me know what you find out.

dragging this up....chatting to a really helpful copper emailing the stolen bike blog, he seems keen on catching these thieves, but needs some specific info like a description of a vehicle/ person, or a number plate... whisper if you got it.

on the gumtree ad the guy says

"I have completely lost faith in the whole human race"

seriously, i find this a bit extreme, and a more than a little bourgeois. i'm sorry the bike was stolen, really i am, but i'm more sorry that we live in a world of hyper-capitalism, where the gap between rich and poor is wider than it has ever been, and where people feel impelled to steal posh italian bicycles left in silly places because making skinny macchiattos or selling mobile phones to rich city whores or slavish media (read creative) slatterns who have gorged at the high table isn't the most redemptive experience.

'it's not about the bike'.

That isn't anarchy on the streets, it is capitalism in action.

People stole stuff before the industrialisation of production. It's just people being people.
