Have We Learned Not Anything!? 1!

It’s a statistical fact that the agonizing theft and rejoicing recovery of Hambone the pitbull was:

  1. Paid attention to by every single angeleno and several dozen folks from Iowa;
  2. The extreme exception to the rule in terms of the beloved dog being reunited with his guardian.

When are we gonna learn, people? Bike racks are for bikes!

    Yep. Saw the same thing yesterday: owner busy shopping in the corner store, dog attached to a bike rack outside, no way to see what happened to it from inside. I told the owner she should be careful, dogs get stolen and hers was particularly beautiful and friendly. She just shrugged.

    I don’t know if it’s that people don’t learn or they just don’t care. Sigh.

    Wow those dogs are really cute. I would have totally liberated them.

    99¢ Store, eh? Have Mark & Steve been questioned?
