Have you lost your faith in bike gangs? Wondering if they’re just not cool anymore? Well good news, Florida’s bringing them back. A recent story out of Manatee County, Florida completely restores my faith in bike gangs.
According to the local Sheriff, three men riding bicycles approached a woman requesting a lighter. As she reached for her bic, a man riding a silver bike and wearing a hat snatched her purse. The silver bike bandit and his two unidentified accomplices remain at large, presumably roaming the mean streets of Manatee County, using their innocent appearance to rob little, old ladies.
I give these men credit, they’re environmentally conscious thieves. They certainly could steal enough purses to afford a car, instead they keep it green. I wonder if their bikes are suped up for get-away chases, Bonnie and Clyde style?
God bless bicycle gangers. You’re a special breed, the type of kids who refused to come home at sundown. Bicycle gangers resemble pirates; they lack institution, order, and decency, but more than double the fun. I’m comforted knowing I live in a world where pirates and bike gangs still exist.
Remember, if you see a man wearing a hat and riding a silver bike contact Manatee County’s Sheriffs Office.
Reality is always stranger than fiction. Read the story at: http://www.bradenton.com/2010/08/03/2477267/three-men-on-bicycles-snatch-purse.html
