Listener James from Sacramento sent this photo to me a while ago. He found this flier hanging on a local light post along with several others and thought it was sad and humorous, all at the same time.

I enjoyed the humor and anger in the flier and certainly can relate to it. I asked if I could post it here on The FredCast site and he agreed.

So . . . have you ever had a bike stolen? What did you do to try to get it back? Was it ever returned? If so, is there a good story to go along with it?

If so, let me know here in the comments, via email or via voice mail and I’ll put your interesting stories on the show.

UPDATE: Turns out that this flier was part of a campaign for a new t-shirt design from Threadless Tees’. When I learned this (thanks to @mdbrown on Twitter), I felt so used. Then I found out that this design resulted from a true story of a missing (towed?) bike. So, I guess I’ll leave it up here because it’s still pretty humorous.
