And what I about where I live, you know I only live one block from the city, for some irony the only ever instance of a problem happening on this street was when two city kids decided to grab a neighbors two houses down children’s bikes from the front yard. And promptly be chased down and abandon said bikes by another neighbors older sons. Also Amherst PD onsite in less than 5 minutes.

Eh I say bullshit, the biggest problem surrounding pearl street is just down the way heading towards the Synacor building are the BMHA housing area, that is problematic.

42

imagine if we could live in a world, where you could leave personal property unlocked, and not have to worry about someone stealing it?

43

Pearl Street itself is shitty, holy fuck the food’s terrible, and I gave it three chances, apparently no one knows how to cook mushrooms there.

44

I agree. People love that place but I think it is horrible. The beer is even “meh” there and also at Pan Am.

45

I’ve never eaten there but the Lighthouse Ale was pretty good and even the Don Cherry Wheat, and I really don’t like flavored beers.

46

but its the city and the city is amazing!!!

47

I use to live in Baltimore… the 12 O’Clock boyz are awesome!!

48

where there is a large inequality in wealth, and not everyone can afford “extras,” this will never happen.

49

this. or stiffer penalties for theft, limb per conviction. no one would steal shit if it meant risking a leg

Well apparently the same guy took another bike from pearl st this past Tuesday. On camera again…begging for a sting operation. BPD has been pretty lax. Officers actually talked to the guy at last thursday’s harbour show but let him go for whatever reason after getting his name, address and record (on probation already). No idea if that information was ever recorded or given to the detective.

51

So they have his info, he’s on camera twice and they won’t go after him?

52

Pearl street is meh

BPD will do nothing

You will never see your bike again

It seems like everyone has this mentality that stuff like this only happens in the city. I grew up in hamburg and had 2 bikes stolen, plus many friends bikes. Taken from their garage at their house even. This is not just a city thing.

53

I’d love to see this shitbag set up and fucked up. Sadly in our ass backwards society you would be punished more for setting him up, than he would be for being a criminal. 8/

Waste of time. I know city DA’s and judges that have had kids come in that have stolen cars not once but four times and still never see jail time. Our city is screwed up so someone taking a bike is nothing that is gonna get their attention.

55

This guy was dumb enough to steal several more bikes downtown since mine and finally attracted enough attention yesterday to get himself arrested by the BPD. Caught red handed I believe…court next week.

56

Awesome. Hopefully they can help you out.
