No, I really don't, as some actual nigger stole my bike back in those very days. It was locked, too, with a super cheap Zody's bike lock, but still. I had just bought a bunch of stuff and had all these bags to carry out, and the shopping cart guy came to ask me if I had a bike locked to the cart thing out front, "because some nigger was out there yanking on the chain until it broke, and just rode off." said he. Thanks, faggot. Yeah, that was mine.

The walk home was not all that bad, but I learned a lesson that day.

When did that happen?

[–] 1 pt

'79 or '80. Give or take. I forget.

I got really paranoid, and bought what I thought were strong chains and locks, but a yeat or so later, I crashed my go-kart, and broke it's steering gear pretty badly, and I locked it with one of those contraptions which I thought was secure in the folks' carport, and it got stolen THAT NIGHT! And this was in what was previously considered a 'nice neighborhood'. Another "learning experience", I guess. I miss the engine I had on that thing the very most, because it was a badass roller bearing Kohler industrial engine given to me by a friend of my grandfather's which was SUPER torquey, of course. Much better than the turdy engine with a thrown rod that I got it with. Good work experience, at least, I guess.

I remember we had a very few african and middle-eastern migrant families in the neighborhood and they wouldn't do shit knowing the rest of the neighborhood truly respected each-others and would fucking mob them if they tried doing shit. Then these families started breeding like rabbits and more migrants arrived over the decades...

I remember going for a ride to the local store/milkbar, and us leaving all our bikes in a clump together with no locks just outside.

I'm not sure if it's changed, but the local council would have garbage collection every year or so, where they would pick up big things like old broken washing machines, mattresses, TVs, etc. Shit you couldn't put in a bin. During that time, you'd find bikes dumped with all the other garbage, that just had a flat tyre (we used them to build trikes). No need to steal anything.

Also, when it comes to theft, China is just as bad. Only the crims will be 60+ years old.

People still do that where I live. I leave stuff in my car with the top down. My house is unlocked most of the time. Benefits of living in a 99.5% white, affluent town.

Demographics taught me a lot about crime related diversity (especially where whites became a minority)

No. I'm old enough but I grew up in New York City.

itt: hey guys post your age and approximate geographic location. feel free to kvetch about either the beans or the nogs so we'll be able to get a more specific idea of what region you're in. thanxoxox!

I think it was a naive illusion of safety.

So you mean coming back to pick my unlocked/untouched bike on my front porch and ride it without worrying to get sucker-punched was naive?

Unless you were in a gated community, yes. All kinds of fucked up shit has been happening as long as humans have lived around one another.

No gated community. Same place, 30 years later, turned into a shithole filled with junkies and low IQ inbreds.
