Today, I thought it would be funny to put some streamers on my bike handles, even though I knew they would probably be stolen fairly quickly. I went into a restaurant to eat, and when I came out both my wheels were gone, but at least the streamers were still there. FML

Today, my bike was stolen. Partially. Since I always locked it up, some asswipe thought it would be funny to steal the handlebar stem and the seat, leaving the actual handlebar dangling by the brake cables. Since there was no way to steer or sit, I had to carry my bike one mile back to my dorm. FML

Today, not only did someone steal my bike, they also managed to get wasted and drunkenly ride my stolen bike through my new screened-in front porch, destroying it and the bike. FML

Today, I rode my bike to the store because I only had a few things to pick up. When I walked back out after five minutes, my bike was stolen. I had gone to the store to buy a new bike lock. FML

Today, I went out to where I'd parked my bike only to find that someone had stolen my bike seat. Not the bike, just the seat. I had to ride my bike two miles home in the rain like I was climbing a hill in the Tour de France, while other cyclists moved out of my way in confusion, all while trying to avoid me. FML

Today, when I locked my newly repaired bike up, I carefully took the new rear light off it so that nobody could steal said light. Somebody stole my bike. At least I have a red light to play with. FML

Today, I replaced my car's windscreen wipers, after someone stole the last pair. After I finished, I went indoors for a drink. When I returned, the new ones had been stolen too. FML

Today, I woke up to all 4 of my wheels stolen from my car. The thieves were kind enough to leave the car resting on wooden blocks and bricks. FML

Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML

Today, I went to eat out. When I sat down, I realized I forgot my straw. I took my purse with me, not wanting it to get stolen. Someone stole my food instead. FML

Get a cable or a chain. Use it to secure the wheels as well as the frame of the bike. Depending on your area, taking the seat with you is optional.

It could've been worse. They could have taken the entire bike and then left the streamers. That would've been funny :P

@24 - Um, actually, yes, a lock CAN keep your wheels from being stolen if you thread it through them. @50 - Haha, I didn't read carefully enough at first and thought that was what happened xD

why would someone steal the wheels when they could just take the whole bike. and 24 - it really depends on how u lock the bike.

they probably thought it was a guy and he was gay so they took the wheels.

Shut up, 47. What's so bad with California? Not all places have a high crime rate... in fact, my neighborhood never has anything stolen from it.

exactly.

You get one of the big bike lock cables and thread it through the spokes on each wheel of the bike and then lock the bike up. Voilà, unstolen wheels.

With a saw, yeah. But that'd be kinda hard to do. :P

a pair of bolt cutters and a 30 second interval of being unnoticed are all one needs to steal a bike. though, who would want the bike when there are those awesome streamers sitting right there? snip, snip, heheheheheeee...
