I have no idea what you just said

I am talking about all mexicans-who-have-no-money-that's-why-they-steal people which are abundant in my area. Got it that english plain enough

Please refrain from spouting racist ignorant remarks simply because you got punked. Given remarks like that, you deserve to get your bike stolen.

Either that Bike thief has a large set of cajones or you are not a very imposing 6' 200 lbs guy. Maybe when he saw all your lingerie in your laundry basket he knew you were a Nancyboy.

Give the guy a break. He did what he felt was right for him. A bike is never worth physical harm.

Reading your story it reminded me of what happen to me. I am half white and half asain. 5-6, 150lb and I am not very big. I went to the movies one weekend and a few guys (about 3 mexicans around (5-10- 6 foot tall) try to flirt with my girlfriend. When I came out of the restroom I saw them trying to touch her hand then they looked at me and laugh. I decided to ignore them. After the movie was over, it was about 12:45 A.M and I walked to my car with my girl. Walking out of the movie theatre, I saw those guys outside. I decided to avoid them. They started to say obnoxious things to me and threw some trash at me. Still I continue to walk to my car. I asked my girl to get into the car, then I went to the trunk and took out the my spare tire tool set and I had a bottle of pepper spray in my hand. I walked toward them and said, " Did I do something to offend you? If I did, is there a way we can fix this. " Then I gave them a face full of pepper spray and cracked 1 guy's head open. Then the other 2 ran while 1 was lying on the ground bleeding. I proceeded to spray him with more pepper spray then kicked his head in. Then I grabbed his head and banged it against the ground. He was still conscious so I took out the trash from a nearby container and poured it all over him. Then I got into my car and tried to run him over but he ran and got away.

The lesson I learned from that day was to always carry pepper spray and if any one throws trash at you or tried to insult your love ones. Give them a face full of spray and kick the living sh!t out of him. Ever since that incident, I have never lost my temper and have always remained calm and cool. I did however got probation for 1 year for the incident only because I was claiming self defense. You did the right thing because if you had beat the crap out of him, he might have stalked you and do physical harm to you and your family or you could have ended up in jail.
A bike is not worth getting hurt or killed unless you have a gun and a good lawyer. Everyone here flames you for being a coward but rather you be a coward then be a hero for a bike. Once again, a bike is just a bike but your physical well being is above all. You are safe and so is your family, you made the right decision.

By the way can I have your address? :laugh:

Yea, you deserve all this negativity. This is ridiculously lame. I'd have kicked his ass before he had a chance to pull a weapon. Here's the scenario: He has both hands in the air, holding the bike. His nuts are begging to be busted. I kick him full force, he drops, kick, kick, get bike, call cops, kick, kick. Just like that. You are not in trouble because you were protecting your property. Kick him again.

OK, first of all: All you e-thugs, your e-penis != your real penis.

btw, I also laughed at the story and I would sure as hell at LEAST followed him while he walking away with my bike. But really attack that fvcker? What if a group of his friends is waiting somewhere? Why didn't you follow him..... with your bike? :D

I asked him what is he doing...he replies "I am taking my bike" And I was shocked and aggrevated, wtf, he was taking my bike. I argued with him for like 5 minutes. But could not attack him (because of clothes in hand).

Finally he just walked with my bike,:Q I called cops but they arrived like 30 :frown: mins after call and by the time he was already gone and lost.

He was like 5'5", 140-150 lbs and I am 6'0" 200 lbs and I think I should have attacked him :confused:

ok, and if you're really bigger than him, why didn't you attack him?

His hands were preoccupied with the bike, you should've dropped him in the face and disable his arms by either pulling them backwards and forcing him on the ground or do the American History X mouth-on-the-curb but without the actually finish; just to scare him

I'm all about the American History X move... teeth on the curb. That was the best part of the movie. I cheered even when I saw it in my sociology class where being a white male was a minority.

Geez, leave the guy alone. I think he did the right thing. He had the right sense to stay calm at the moment and let it go. I know personally, my temper would have driven me start a fight with the guy. Win or lose, I don't know, but I know in the end I will probably lose when his buddies come back for revenge. A guy stealing your bike probably has a lot of friends and probably not much to lose either so going to jail may be a blessing for them. You might have kicked his ass that night, but you can be certain that he will come back to kick your ass soon, and you can bet your ass that he wont be coming alone. If you think getting your ass jumped over a bike is worth it, then more power to you. But if you have family also, then it is definitely something to consider. I have two daughters, and I have no intention of orphaning them over a bike.

some of you may even say, well i got friends too. well your friends arent going to be around you 24/7 to protect you. if they are, then you're probably just another worthless loser. go get a job.

He's living at college, I'm fairly sure he doesn't have two daughters to worry about like you.

5 minute argument

SurgicalShark: Hey, what are you doing?!
Mexican: Stealing your bike, why?
SurgicalShark: Oh, it's my bike. Don't steal it, okay?
Mexican: Too bad. You're in my way by the way.
SurgicalShark: Sorry, here let me move. Can I unlock the chain so that you can ride away?
Mexican: Actually, now that you mentioned it ... the seat is a lil' high too.
SurgicalShark: Here, let me adjust that for you. <Runs into the house and gets his key &amp; tools> Here you go.
Mexican: Thanks. I'll come back for your other stuff later.
SurgicalShark: Cool. See you later.
<Mexican rides away>

If it were me, he would have been asked once to put it down. After that I would have physically confronted him to remove it from his grasp, and had he posed any resistance that jepordized my safey, he would have been quickly introduced to the naughty end of the H&amp;K USP .40 and asked a second time.

The justification is that you have every right to secure your property. If the thief puts up resistance when you attempt to recover your property, not only has he stolen your property, but he is now a danger to your safety as well. Thus when you aim a weopon at him, it is not because he has your $50 bike, it is because he has threatened your safety when you attempted to retrieve the bike.
