Well this is fabulous.

I left my bicycle locked up to a pole outside my work overnight. Probably not the best move, but it was just too hot to ride.

This morning, I got to work, and my bike was still there. Unfortunately, it was wrapped around the pole it was locked up to.

So I called the police. They didn't seem to care. Eventually, I was told someone would come down so I could file a report. Because they're all really busy picketing for raises and not stopping scam artists and drug dealers at Boston Common and Downtown Crossing.

There is a security camera directly across the street. Hopefully, it got the accident on tape.

My main problem here is that I'm pretty sure I know what happened. There is a bus line that parks on that corner and regularly hits poles and has, in the past, hit a parked bike. I don't know why it's okay for that bus company to park there and drop off/pick up, and I don't know why they don't seem to get in any trouble with the city for doing so, or for destroying city and private property.

So now I'm on the hook for hundreds of dollars for parking a "vehicle," and that company will continue to run a shitty operation and have no problems for it. It makes me wonder what good the insane regulations we have in Boston are if they are selectively enforced. If Fung Wah has to do their drop-offs at South Station, why do these clowns get to go wherever they want?

Now I have no transportation and have to buy a new bike, despite my being broker than I've ever been.

Please kill me dead.
