Isn't it a shame how some "accidents" befall thieves and other transgressors!

Maybe if they had behaved themselves and minded their own business they would have avoided the "accidents"?

Did the person riding the bike know that is was stolen?

If not then there seems to be a major loophole in the Karma theory.

The way I understand it.. she was riding solo, not a passenger. the man was on another motorcycle.

I'm firmly of the belief that bike thieves should be treated like horse thieves. If you steal a bike from someone who loves it and depends on it you are doing one of the lowest things one human being can do to another. Steal something else if you must.

The other person could have easily have said "I got a new bike, want to try it out?" and completely leave out the fact that it was stolen.

There are a lot of people who ride motorcycles (all brands and types) like complete a-holes even though it is not stolen.

Regardless of whether the dead chick stole the bike or not, the fact remains that life is hard & is much harder when yer stupid.

I suspect the one that got away stole the bike and gave it to the girl who killed herself on it, doubt she knew it was hot.
