It was obviously stolen. You should have called the cops.

The MFFY Litmus Test:
If your maneuver forces another driver WHO HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
to alter course or speed, what you did was probably MFFY.

Shit flies like boomerang, then wishes come back.

Yeah, it's total bullshit. Tucson ranked high and it has one
of the highest death rates from senile, druggie, drunk and
maniac drivers riding over bicyclists than any city in the
Kuntry. Very dangerous place to ride and the streets are
terrible, potholes everywhere, cracks. They recently passed a
bond supposedly to finance roads and that money I am sure
must have gone into someone's pocket. Corrupt, bullshit, low
class town and certainly no haven for bicyclists. You take
your life in you hands everytime you ride here.
