Unhappy 36er and MUni stolen!

I CAN'T believe it! After a 36er ride this morning I had both my 36er and MUni in the back of my car, but kept the hatch open to throw in my pads, after I went into the liquor store to get a pepsi...I was only gone for maybe 60 seconds...and GONE! both of them! I just CAN'T believe it!



And neither should you! April Fools!

Effing thieves. They'll steal anything that isn't bolted down. Keep an eye on Craigslist, and possibly local flea markets? Not sure what a thief does with a unicycle. I got mine back because the thief took them to the bike shop to get the splined cranks removed for his BMX bike.

Also sometimes thieves just play around with the stuff they steal and then toss it. If you have a chance, check around the area where the theft occurred.

If the thief thinks unicycles are valuable, it might have something to do with them having seen some of your viral videos...

Maybe the thief was just trying to decrease the flow.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I believe it was no ordinary thief at all. I bet it was some professional sent down by youtube in a feeble attempt to stop T*rry from clogging their upload channel with endless new videos.

That's what happens when people don't read the previous posts.

You guys are obviously strangers to sarcasm. Carry on, nothing to see here...

Terry, I got your wheels back.

Chased two kids down, knocked em down and had them arrested... Get this, all the time they cried and whined that their mother bought them the UNIs.

What Idiots!

Terry you specified COLOR=White for your cheat text. Next time make that light grey, they now stood out for me on the light grey background. Only there is no such light grey front colour choice.

A bad taste joke. I'm not laughing cos it reminds me of all the unicycles I've had stolen including my Wilder. I've started engraving my name on my unicycles.

That won't help if the next guy who steals your uni(s) is named Rowan! (Or Martin! He can just say he's part of the team! )
