Bicycle Samaritan

Postby Mulboyne » Tue Sep 07, 2010 10:00 pm

An unemployed 62 year old man has been arrested for interfering with bicycles left in a lot near a bus stop in Kobe. Police were astonished to discover he would polish them up. repair them and give them new locks. They have confirmed he didn't sell any of them or do anything for any monetary gain. The man has admitted to interfering with around 50 bikes and said he did so because he thought they "looked sad" lying around in the lot. Japan's netizens are talking about him as the "mysterious bicycle lot ghost" or the "Mother Teresa of bikes". They are also wondering exactly what he did wrong if the bikes he handled had actually been abandoned.
