Att. Philadelphia. (eww)

This is the listing for Harlan Price's single speed that was recently stolen. It shouldn't matter whose bicycle it is, but it belonged to a person whom I've heard nothing but great things about.  If you have the means, please pass along the word. 

STOLEN: Independent Fabrication MTB by vacant hearted people

So i left the house for 4o min. 9:48-10:30 to visit the hardware store. You watched me leave, drove up onto the sidewalk in your White work truck, with side boxes and a house heater on the back. 
My neighbor saw you but assumed you to be people working on my house. INstead you went around back, opened a window, and came back through the front door and proceeded to use my wheelbarrow to unload me of all the things I can't afford to replace. 
I'm sure you were just looking for the $2,000 in power tools I had for working on my first house, but in the process you took my new Mountain bike. I can't pay for too many things, and yes I race bikes for a team that gives me a race bike, but this one was mine. The others are taken back from me at the end of each year. I live below the poverty line to live out a dream of racing bikes. Sorry you have no dreams. And in case you were justifying your actions by thinking I had insurance on my stuff, you were wrong. 
I hope that you at least choose a different color than black to spray paint my bike and then give it to some kid, who finds that the thrill that a bike can provide is a new experience worth pursuing outside of the hell hole of a morally defunct world you live in. You probably go around accusing the world of being a shit hole, not realizing it's your world you are creating. 
You obviously put a lot of effort into casing my house, and waiting for me to leave. When I think about it, it must have been a good amount of work. I firmly believe that your actions will catch up to you. Maybe not in one catastrophic event, but at least a slow lifetime of one small tragedy at a time. The days you can't trust your friends, the lack of pleasure in anything simple, honest or pure. Lung cancer, neglected children hating you, growing old angry, bitter and alone. 

Any ways If you hve a change of heart, and want to return the bike I offer a $400 reward to get it back. Or if you know where it is at and want to help me get it back, no questions asked. 

Below is a picture. Black 29er MTB, Yellow stripes, green logo. INdependent Fabrication is the name.
