yellow bike theft incident
hard times last week at yellow bike on 51st. danny m. sent an email about some kids in the shop stealing the laptop, and the shop coordinators dog, argos, chasing after them onto 51st where he was hit by a car and killed. argos owners, Russell and Dalea, are obviously torn up about this and very sad. i can't imagine.....
yellow bike is graciously accepting donations for argos vet bill at the shop. they also are in need of a replacement computer. nothing fancy. mac/pc. they access their database via a web browser, so platform is not important.
if you are able to help in any way, please contact simon or head out to one of the yellow bike locations. they would be happy to see you.
this is from simon:
Yeah it was pretty fucked up. 3 kids about 14-16 stole the log-in laptop computer and ran across the back field to cross 51st street. Russell and Dalea, two of our newest coordinators, brought their dog, Argos to the shop. We are dog friendly and my dog was at the shop too, but i had to leave early. Argos chased the kids and was hit and killed by a car. Neither car nor kids stopped. It's pretty fucked up and sad. We definitely need a new computer asap (nothing fancy) and also donations for Argos' medical bill at the emergency clinic will be gratefully accepted at the shop.

that's terrible! how sad!
hoping we can get a picture of Argos, somewhere.
not to be mean, but i'm wondering if it's a good idea to have dogs out and about who will chase after someone. presumably folks tried to call the dog back, and s/he didn't listen.
i'm curious if anyone filed a police report, and if this would find its way to the local newspaper(s).
seems so bizarre to steal a laptop these days. maybe it was nice? are there really kids out there who want a laptop who don't have one?
whole situ sucks bad. seems like it would not have been a big deal if Argos hadn't died. sad. blah.
