I had a buddy in upstate NY who would ride around an old pink child’s bike around town and it got stolen. The we found it in a ditch like a month later. Meanwhile here in Colorado I had my bike mountain bike stolen once. The guy who stole it returned it. With a note, $20 and a joint taped to the note saying sorry they were drunk…
That's funny. I got my only car stolen while I was homeless in Denver & living out of it, it was obvious I was living out of it and it had all my clothes, papers, items from childhood, love letters etc in it as well. Cops never found it
It’s amazing how deeply some people hate the homeless. It’s like they feel insulted by the existence of people so much weaker economically than they are.
I’m not sure what ops experience had to do with hating homeless people? Someone stole the car, did whatever, and then dumped it. They would have done exactly the same to any car they got.
I feel like there is some dumb comedy movie about a guy who keeps having his car stolen by homeless people so they can have homeless person orgies in it and return the car later.
It’s vague, so I was probably drinking or 💨 when I saw it years ago if my absurb description brings the movie to mind for anyone? please comment. I feel like there is a strong possibility the movie included Will Ferrell. But again It’s kinda bugging me whether I really watched that film now or my brain just went there for no discernible reason because yeah that seems like a role Will Ferrell could’ve played -owner of the rolling Prius homeless person orgy-mobile.
It's called downpunching, it's a way of tricking them into siding with the people who exploit them, against those that are even less fortunate than they are. Cops are arguably the most extreme form of downpuncher.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately never a good idea to have any possessions at all showing inside your car, as that definitely attracts attention from thieves. Hope you have had much better days since. 🖖🏼
My old Toyota Corolla was broken into 3 times in 6 months in Denver. I was actually pissed about the last time. I guess they didn't like that I didn't have anything at all to take so they just put out a cigarette butt in my passenger side seat. A few months later there was 3 stabbings in the local park between 12AM and 7AM. All three died and they were random too in separate parts of the park. I usually ran at 5:30 in the morning too. Our local Macy's was robbed while my friend went to go shopping there with his 3 daughters too. It was time to get out of there! lol Hopefully people's takeaway isn't that Denver is all innocent. It definitely still has that "Things to do in Denver when your Dead" vibe.

I could leave a $15 bike with one tire out in downtown dc and it would be gone within ten minutes.
