Can I borrow your bike?
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 4:48PM The other day I was working out in the garage with the door open, when this man approached me. He was very short and Hispanic. He almost had the body of a child, but the face of an adult. I had never met the man before, but I knew he lived in the neighborhood since I've often seem him walking around. I already have negative feelings towards this man because a few weeks after we moved in, I witnessed him walk by our house and throw an empty Pepsi can into our yard. Ass.
Anyway, he walked up to me in the garage and said "Hey man, can I borrow your bike sometime?" He obviously saw my bike which was propped up in the back of the garage. I said "No, I don't think so." Then he rebutted with "I'll pay you." I still said no. He continued to ask about my bike, like where I got it, etc. I don't understand why he seriously thought that a complete stranger was going to let him borrow a bike. He didn't even introduce himself or tell me his name. Now I'm kinda worried that he has his eyes on my bike. Throwing Pepsi cans into people's yards can very well be a gateway to bike thievery.
