Amen to that, and thank you rich people. As a kid, my brother Bob and I would hit the Truro dump with a cresent wrench and a couple of screw drivers and ride out with our "new" bikes. I LOVE dump picking. On thieves; my son races track bikes and they are his daily transportation. Track Bike= No brakes, no gears, and no coast; you always have to pedal. His favorite sport is just leaving it and watching some fool hop on. He says that the increasing degrees of "OH S**T! on the theif's face is priceless.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
