My best friend just called me this morning and told that his garage had been broken into and his 2 bikes as well as his wife's bike had been stolen ! Just like me moutainbiking is a big part of his life ( as well as an enormous financial black hole ) and I just can't imagine myself in his position.
Worst thing about it is that his insurance will only pay up to 1500€ ( roughly $2000 ) while his bikes are worth a total of something around 5000 € ( $6700 ) ....
He worked hard and bought these bikes parts after parts over the years so he can't reasonably afford to buy the equivalent today, especially now that he has a 10 day old daughter. They just brought her home from the hospital this Sunday and now they get robbed ! I can't imagine how they feel ...
I just find it so unfair that people work their asses off to buy their dreams , and then all of a sudden it gets taken away from them by some ( insert what you want here ) that feels like taking it away from them
( and he probably doesn't even has the slightest clue of the actual value of what he stole )
It's more than just objects that he lost , they took away a part of his life ( anyway that's how I would feel if I were in his shoes ) !!
I just don't understand , I'm so PO'd for him !! I had to rant ...
