Default No Respect

So this week I'm working the 3-11 shift and decided to ride my bike home as opposed to my friends garage where it normally stays. I do this because I live in a apartment complex. I walk outside this morning to find someone had smashed all the outside lights by the sidewalks and broke the glass out of them. Got me a little worried so I went back and started looking over my bike which was parked by my front door by the way. Someone broke my antenna off and tried to get in both of my saddle bags. Now I have scratches on the bags and no antenna. WTF makes people do this? Just needed a little rant about it and hope I catch the bastards who did it. Lets just say they'll have a very bad day. Oh and by the way, anyone know where to get a billet antenna or something like that?

I had some punk break the antenna off of my car in my work parking lot once. I didn't even replace it... figured he would do it again the next week.

Its easier for me to understand stealing than just tearing stuff up.

It's really sucks when someone that has yet to work their **** off to own something. Comes along and attempts to take what is your result hard work and savings. But you are right it most likely are punk-*** kids with nothing.

See thats me to, I don't understand just tearing someones stuff up. I suspect they would have stole what was in my bags if they were unlocked.
