    Probably some people like the Wright brothers looking for materials from which to build a plane. I mean what else are you going to do with all those wheels! :-)

    That's not nice. My friend had her car broken into today. Karma will get them one day.

    Oi, they have really been picked clean. It must be so sad to come and find your bike like that.

    I think this ripper is global. I'm sure I have seen his work in Haninge as well!

    And why abandon them on the street?
    Have a good weekend.
