Beware of crackheads!!!

It was a nice, sunny day here in Seattle yesterday so I decided I'd take the bike to work. Since it was Sunday, I could park on the street for free. Found a nice, highly visible spot right in front of my building, Fisher Plaza, which is right next to the Space Needle. My shift ended at 8pm (still light out) and I go out to my bike. I try to start it and immediately notice that it does not sound right at all. Sounded like I had a major exhaust leak. I go around to the other side and bend down to inspect the header connection when I notice this:



Some low-life piece of garbage stole my spark plug!!! I was absolutely livid. I could not believe that someone could do something like that. Why the heck would anyone want to go to the trouble, carrying around a wrench, and steal a $4 spark plug??? And they only took one. God I wish I could have been there when the scumbag was doing it. What other reason would someone do this than to simply ruin someone's day? Then I did a quick internet search today and found that crackheads like to use spark plugs to make crack pipes. I guess they like the porcelain sleeve because they can heat their crack up real good bu the pipe stays cool to the touch. Anyway, as if we need another reason to hate these rotten bastards. Just figured I'd share that with guys and do a little venting. Hopefully this tweaker gets what's coming to him..

I really hate those types of fuckers that do this just to ruin your day. If killing someone was legal there would be a lot of dead asshats around my area.

Did  you report to the police? (as if the Seattle police would do any good) There should have been security cameras and you can get the footage if there is a police report.

Next time give me a call and I'll bring you one. I was home working on Phenix.

They don't even impound cars when people are caught driving on a suspended license. Get a ticket, back on your merry way.

and they either beat you up or kill you for no reason then get off scott free.

How dirty they are:
3 lanes on Spokane under the WS bridge going west. left lane goes straight and no left turn. Center straight or right. Right right only. Left lane closed across 4th. What do the do? Direct traffic? Nope. They stand there and give a ticket to everyone in the left lane because you can't turn left - and they have no choice. Can't turn right - only 2 lanes going north on 4th. You're screwed. Entrapment! They couldn't direct traffic and be the good guys. No sign saying street closed ahead, either.

Yeah, it's not just a spark plug. It's rendering someone's vehicle inoperable and potentially leaving them stranded.

I did talk to the security guards and they said they'd check the tapes but I don't think they'll show anything. Even if they did, there's probably not much I could do. But I'd really love to see the guys face just in case I ever run into him.

No, I didn't call the police. What would they do? Plus I didn't have time for that.

You implied you would kill someone over a spark plug. In the end....it is just a spark plug. I hate it when people steal my sh1t too but I would not kill them, slap em around maybe but not kill them.

I think you're taking that just a tad bit too literally

Twisted

And I think you are being a little bit dramatic over a spark plug.

My bad. Forgive me   :cry:


I think the lesson learned here is to carry a spare one. I don't but after reading this I think I will try and get one to put under the seat with the tool kit.

Was it a normal plug or iridium? Might be dealing with a high end crack head.......

Kidding if course. Sorry to hear about your bike getting messed with.

Actually you have a good point. That would be a good reason someone would snatch one but the OP says his cost $4 so I am doubting.
