I don't post much, but I have to let you guy's know about this. Wed I parked my kat outside if randolph mall here in NC. I went out to check on it (i had parked it in the yellow stripes and I was kind of worried about a ticket) and it was gone. I think "No way someone took it". I go back in the mall to ask security where the heck my bike is...no one in sight. I go back out to the parking lot and figure I'll just look around a bit, maybe someone was playing a joke on me and moved it. As I walk thru the parked cars, i see my bike...WTF!! Some loser had moved it beside a big Explorer and was working on the damn CUT wiring harness apparently trying to hot wire it. He had wrecked the ignition, and dropped it in the process of moving it ( I guess). He had a helmet on, and a knife in his hand. I told him to hold it right there, and he threatend to CUT me. OK, first you F#$k up my baby, and now you are going to hurt me? I do not think so. I'm only about 5'7", and I'm 38...but I keep in good shape and I have trained in several martial arts...all combat related; not sport stuff (not that there's anything wroooong with that ). Anyway, he left on a backboard with a neckbrace on...I'm sure I at least broke his right eyesocket, and he will probably have neck pain for a few weeks. Not it that fixes my bike. Oh well....at least it's raining so i couldn't ride anyway. I know I'm probably gonna get flamed for not just letting him go. I should have, it would have been the rational thing to do. But I swear I had an "out of body" experience. From the point where he threatened to cut me...I just leapt at him. I don't want to portray myself as a bad a$$, If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing then yeah, im dangerous but I thought you guy's would appreciate that this loser-bike-stealing-lowlife-wannabe tough guy got the surprise of his life.
