Pier of peace by day, cesspool of thieves by night

Don't be fooled by the serene picture above. Yes, it appears peaceful yet full of life, orderly, a place of tranquility and reflection.  Oh, if you only knew.  This my friends is the san benedetto pier.  everyday hundreds if not thousands of people come to enjoy its views and walk its outstreched arm into the sea.  I too was easily fooled into its beckoning bossom, allowing myself to take comfort among its harbor stones rolling out my sleeping mat and bag.  It lurred me it only to spit me out!  Behold!! the foto below. Yes, you see right and this is where the oh so sweet harbor shows its dirty face.  During the peaceful night, a band of hulligans and thugs made every effort to steal this beautiful work of art. THE BIKE. What horror say I!  With their tools of deceit and evil, they touled and fought endlessy against the steal of my cablelock.  Grinding, cutting, hacking, but alas, haha, to no avail.  That cable was kryptonite in their presence.  Surely the dawn came too early for these men of ill will forcing them to abandon their dirty trade of stealing beautiful things.  And I, awoken by the angles, climbed downed from my lofty rock to enjoy yet another glorious day safe and sound, with bike in hand.

Now the facts of the matter:  They probably tried to cut it with a pocket knife, which is more funny than alarming.  Also, they could have taken a bunch of stuff from the bike that wasn't locked if they knew what they were doing.  This area is actually very safe and really never do I feel threatened in anyway.  Im glad I still have the bike, but still, the situation was funny.
