That’s great!

There has been a spate of bike thefts in my area over the past couple of years, (both mechanical and electric), from gardens and garages. They have been carried out by the same individual, and the police have seen plenty of photographic evidence. Last week, my immediate neighbours, who are new, had 4 bikes stolen, which were chained up at the side of their house. The thief, spent about an hour, during the middle of the night, cutting the locks off, and selecting the bikes he wanted. This was all recorded on CCTV, and it's the same individual involved, who is well known to the police already. Sadly, they have shown little interest, despite around 20 bikes being stolen so far, as well as some tools. It isn't someone who lives in the area, he just comes here, at night, to steal, and isn't seen here during the day. I imagine it will only be a matter of time before someone takes the law into their own hands, and then they will be the one arrested. I hope things are better where you liveJohnnythefox

Good to hear their putting those 5 million + CCTV cameras to good use…

Sorry to hear about your bike

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (probably every time someone posts one): that #77 there is one of the best knives GEC ever made.


The original 35! It’s a good one!![]()
Definitely a good one!

“It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.”



We drove down to Arkansas yesterday (we’re spending the week visiting family), and met up with my father-in-law this morning at a local car show. There was an eclectic mix of cars there, but unfortunately I didn’t take very many pictures.
This is my father-in-law’s car.

Perhaps subconsciously influenced by the Bluesmobile, we had Chicago-style pizza for dinner. I was carrying my #71 Sudbuster again today, but I brought a couple different knives with me, so I might change it up throughout the week.
