I need a hug!

Yesterday I walked home from rehearsal.

This is only notable because I'd arrived on my bicycle, which was no longer there when it was time to go home. All I have left is a broken piece of the chain that was locking it to the stop sign. People suck. Blargh.

I suppose I'll be walking more, which I really need to do anyway with the Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk coming up. (Donations gratefully accepted -- the Walk benefits the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.)

Should have called 911 about a theft in progress and then gotten the ass's name and badge number.

Had no phone on me. And you know what cops sometimes do when you try to get their badge number: you get arrested for disorderly conduct or "tumultuous behavior," like Henry Louis Gates. It's dangerous to question a cop's judgement, and asking for a badge # or name suggests that you have a "problem" with the cop.

Good point. I like [livejournal.com profile] sethb's idea better.

And photographed the thief and the officer.

Then provided copies of the photos to the news media.
