My BMS evo-9 bright blue scooter with ncstate stickers on either side was stolen 11/25 at around 2 or 3 pm between gardner hall south and thomas hall next to the recycling bins while I was indoors working in a lab.... If you have any information about this or who it was can you please tell it to campus police (that is where the case is filed) or contact me, and if you really need it I can compensate you like $30? Luckily, at the same time I misplaced my phone while searching for where my scooter may have gone.... I was hanging around the brickyard and around gardner hall. Then I found out this morning that my scooter was wrecked into pullen park pond... the frame was bent and it looks like hell... no way I have the know how to even begin to contemplate fixing it. Still missing my phone. I don't need anymore bad stuff in my life at this point, It was a palm pixi with a green silicon protector, I'll give you $20. I don't have alot of money, I just had my only transportation grand theft-autoed into a pond, I needed it to get to work, I am a poor student and finals are in 2 weeks...... please I need it back. fml

we'll help but only if you have a match tonight

11/26/2011 4:11:08 PM

that sucks hopefully you can get your scooter fixed. what kind of phone is it?

11/26/2011 4:13:19 PM

a palm pixie in a green sleeve

11/26/2011 4:20:40 PM

this thread makes me sad

11/26/2011 4:20:46 PM

Damn what a shitty day. I, too, am saddened by your unfortunate circumstances.


Hope everything gets better for you!

How much are you paying for education?

Meaning how much are you going to pay for education once you're done?

11/26/2011 4:41:47 PM

um, the frame is bent.... and it spent the night under water.... but if anyone wants to buy cheap chinese parts?? I got 'em.... lol... anyway ... my karma stinks right now... my room mate told me he is bailing on the lease to move to colorado... so anyone want to rent a place? now I am jealous and want to go too. I plan on moving to northern california once I finish my masters at state. I need to be away from a society with people who will trample people to death over electronics that are on sale, steal scooters for a joy ride, and leave a toddler to die in the middle of the street.. .I just want the peace and trust of knowing my neighbors and place in the world. Wilderness keeps me in perspective, and none of this crap that I lost matters, none of these things are worth cramming myself into a boxed in world. We have a beautiful country and I haven't even seen it yet..... we have giant redwoods, but people want to go indoors to see movies when it is bright and sunny outside. I want to be an entomology consultant out there so I can do what I love, nature and science

11/26/2011 4:44:00 PM

We should start a fund for her... I'll donate $10.

11/26/2011 4:44:22 PM

thanks for the nice words... also, genius, why are you interested in my debt?lol

11/26/2011 4:45:14 PM

I'm curious.

11/26/2011 4:48:56 PM

do you not have insurance on the scooter?

also, what's with all the ellipses?

and why do you have 2 threads about this?

[Edited on November 26, 2011 at 4:54 PM. Reason : ]

While I wholeheartedly sympathize with wanting to move out of the area, you're gonna find deadbeats and assholes everywhere you go unless you really do move out to the middle of nowhere...and then you're not gonna find a job that'll pay off your education

of course there's exceptions to every rule but you can't count on these things, you're on the grid now whether you like it or not. your phone shouldn't be a big deal to replace if truly lost, and you can always take the wolfline if need be. did you have insurance on your scooter?

11/26/2011 4:54:09 PM

I am not that worried about either I guess, whatever.... There is a group that needs an entomologist out in N. Cali, and the pay would be good, I am just really frustrated that I didn't get to go to my parents for thanksgiving because I had to work on my research project and then this the day after thanksgiving... and everyone along the way seemed very unconcerned with helping in the smallest way, like I was annoying people for taking their time up to ask if they have seen my shit.... oh well

11/26/2011 5:13:51 PM

I have had scholarships and $7000 in loans to get me through undergrad and halfway through grad school

Charities have conned the generosity out of hundreds and millions of Americans. Giving AID to countries all around the world when we needed the AID ourselves. Giving AID to local charities, only to find out that the heads were lining their own pockets. You have people going around saying they need gas money, you give them $5, but you learn that he doesn't need gas, he is working. He's making $60 an hour leeching on other people's kindness.

America has given more than it is able to give, and now Americans have nothing more to give. Americans are struggling because they've gave to other in their time of need, but there is absolutely no help being reciprocated.

You can't trust or depend on anyone in society anymore. Trust and Dependability aren't rewarding and untrustworthiness is profitable.


This is why we all are struggling.

I really don't have enough space in my brain to be mad about it.... it has been a long year, almost dreamlike how all this shit came down all at once, I just to go somewhere that can allow me to get along with people. It is not in a city. I don't belong around people who hate each other so much, it is toxic

11/26/2011 5:48:22 PM

@se7entythree, I have no insurance, I was planing on signing up, I just got the damn thing.

my elipses are to express the kind of day it has been, a ... day, mkay?

and I had two threads, correct. I suck at tdubbing and I had a grammatical error that I could not let slide on the first one, I am glad someone counts all these threads.

how was it locked up? how did they steal it (crack ignition, hotwire, etc.)?

11/26/2011 6:01:34 PM

they put a screwdriver in the ignition.

the steering column locks when you turn it off so that it turned to the widest angle so it would be difficult to just take. They bashed in the front mini glove compartment and unlocked the steering column somehow.

11/26/2011 6:09:24 PM

man that sucks, sorry to hear it. how bad is the frame bent? there are some scooter virtuosos around here that could probably get it in working order if it isn't completely jacked

No surveillance cameras anywhere??

11/26/2011 6:14:43 PM

pm sent about that scooter. I've drowned a few dirtbikes, should be able to flush it out and get it cranked again.

[Edited on November 26, 2011 at 6:28 PM. Reason : .]

11/26/2011 6:27:05 PM

dude, this shit is jaaacked. The guys who towed it were laughing at it... the front is ripped off, when you turn the handles it can only hit a 45 degree angle, and it scrapes wheel the whole way.

and you know what, I thought the same thing. I asked about cameras, apparently the part of campus I was on does not have cameras. But what blows my mind is that they stole it at like 3pm and rode it in broad daylight with no helmet (which is illegal) and drove it into pullen park and sank it. Which just re-opened with a crapload of walkers, runners, etc that could have seen it.... (yes more elipses)they have all these cameras up at the entrance, but not where they brought it in. The officer said they checked the park tapes and no one came in with a scooter. I wish I could at least see how my blue bomber met its demise, that would be funny shit to watch someone wreck a scooter into a pond, hahaha

Oh, and I am annoyed with NCSU campus police. Thank you to the responding officer for his help, but when they found it they didn't call me and they had it towed all the way to North Raleigh. The officer told me there would be no charge.... well there is a $100 charge, what part of 'this is my only transportation' didn't he get? I tried to beg the guy for a break, eh... I wanted to use the parts since I have a really old scooter that is missing a lot of stuff


I am going to watch "it's always sunny in philadelphia"

Eh, I have a press and a welder, bent frames aren't such a big deal. If you change your mind let me know, I feel like I could use a little karma myself today.

11/26/2011 6:39:11 PM

+1 for smc, dude knows his way around those kinds of things

i mean what's the worst that can happen? frame and controls may be fucked but between that and your old one I'm sure you've got some ridable frankenscoot

11/26/2011 6:52:53 PM

Yea, barborous towing and recovering want $100 first, I can't exactly justify that expense when I have no clue if it will ever work again.... or how much it would cost. I do very much appreciate those of you who have expressed your condolences... at least my cat still loves me

11/26/2011 6:53:18 PM

and thank you smc for that offer, there should be more people like you =D

11/26/2011 6:54:14 PM

fuuuuuck barbours. RPD had them tow my car out of a thicket when I let a drunk stripper drive it off an embankment (long, hilarious story). This was a Saturday night, but I couldn't pick it up until Monday because they weren't open on Sunday. Of course they charged me for Sunday, $200 lot fee. Satan runs that company.

11/26/2011 6:55:32 PM

correction, satan runs all towing companies, bail bonders, banks ... anything centered on money. Hence I am going to live in a town with <25 people that are willing to pay me to help their crops. The people there care and when one person is sick, or down on the luck.. everyone helps them get what they need, food water etc... because everyone plays a role... otherwise you wouldn't be livng in their community...people are important and valuable while money is useful, but it is not their god. I have family there too, they fit in pretty well..... I know I would too

I would say that's less a correction than an addendum


That sounds sweet and all but keeping yourself intellectually sated in such a situation can be a challenge. However, if you're driven, I'm sure you'll come up with something

11/26/2011 7:01:07 PM

I would say you like enjoy correcting people too much

11/26/2011 7:02:54 PM

you started it, youngs lady

11/26/2011 7:03:34 PM

you chose to correct my statement on a day I do not give a fuck about grammar and etymology and correct words.... so you sir, started it

In lieu of arguing with you I'll just let the record show otherwise

is that annoying enough to make you want to punch a puppy? yea me too... random thought that crossed my mind, heard someone say it in a valley girl-esque voice today

is it sad that I am staring at the tww website? contemplating why I forgot to set the alarm on my scooter and why my cat is carrying around my sock

I punch puppies as a matter of course. They're so squishy and they're they develop such a pleasing trajectory. Certainly I understand.

Cats are just weird. I've grown up with them and I still can't decide whether I love them more than I hate them

11/26/2011 7:19:10 PM

this thread has digressed

11/26/2011 7:27:35 PM

I digressed it to thoughts that do not relate to my woe is me plight, because it is pointless..... shit was stolen in broad daylight with no witnesses or cameras.... phone was the first dang smartphone, and it was only 5 months old.... already gone, I knew I shouldn't have gotten one


brueggers has delicious bagels.........mmmmm bagels

11/26/2011 7:33:00 PM

the first smartphone came out LONG before 5 months ago

11/26/2011 7:38:29 PM

was the scooter locked up?
