Stolen HHSB

After having been mugged in barcelona years ago by a junkie threatening to use an infected syringe on a friend, we (the 4 people who got mugged) spent the next days hoping we'd find the guy when we had our skateboards (we were shooting an article for a magazine and at the time of mugging we were in 'chill'-mode sans skateboards and luckily for me sans photo equipment) so we could beat him up. We didn't find him and in retrospect I'm glad we didn't because I wouldn't want to have a death or serious injury on my consience for some stolen money... 2 or 3 years later I was in Barca again and I saw the guy who was now more of a wreck than he was we he mugged us and somehow it reinforced my naive atheistic belief in some kind of instant karma.
While I fully understand those vigilante feelings you express, a bike is just a thing that can be replaced (and yes I know it sucks when it's an expensive bike), and causing serious injury (or death) by beating someone up is going to take more away from you than that bike ever was.
Plus, imagine getting caught by the po po while in the process of beating someone up...

Maybe if enough people kicked the shit out of him when he started down this path he might have been discouraged from continuing his decent. (?)
