STOLEN BIKE:

*NOTE: The bike is actually susan’s and I would borrow it from time to time. But she would ride her bike almost every day so it’s very important to me to either get this bike back or get her a new one.

STOLEN COAT:

Also missing is a standard US passport with the name Arin M Crumley inside (it’s new so might have an RFID Chip that can be used to track the perpatrators every move). In the coat was a beat up wallet with a lot of receipts and maxed out credit cards (don’t try to use them, they are full.) Also I had this video recorder in one of the pockets.

Please spread this video wide, blogs, email, facebook, etc…

  9. go home Said,

    you should be trying to track down who stole your nuts, sucker.
    Who are you kidding? Your daddy’s just going to buy another bike for you anyways…

  10. admin Said,

    Go Home (or whatever your name is),

    My dad is a chimney sweep in California. Not in a position to buy me a bike. But thanks for the suggestion. I understand your position, it sucks when people who seem like they have a lot complain about stuff getting stolen. In fact maybe thats why my stuff was stolen, it’s just too nice of a bike for it to be fair. So it must be taken. I actually agree with you. Next time I’m going to buy shittier bikes. But I’m not going to stop wearing ties even though that makes people think I have a rich “daddy”. It’s really their mistake for making assumptions. The clothes I was wearing in this video were all second hand and are not about any kind of economic status, trust me, I’m just as broke as the rest of us at the moment. The only reason I’ve been dressing like that is because I feel very different then I used to feel a year ago so I’ve stopped wearing what I used to wear.

    Robbed huh. Walk around Canarsie one night (in that outfit if you can) and find out what it’s like to get robbed.

    Poser.

    Please kill yourself.

    “Next time I’m going to buy shittier bikes”

    I thought it was your “friends” bike? Seems like someone who has a wallet full of maxed out credit cards shouldn’t be buying expensive bikes??

    Arin, any updates, news?

  20. admin Said,

    Eric,
    We live in a slightly more transparent world then in the past, but not transparent enough for my concept of social checks and balance to work out. I’m using a loaner coat. Bought a new wallet. Got to berlin on my previously misplaced passport but it got whole punched in customs coming back to the states. Susan is bikeless. I was offered a new video recorder by the friend that gave me the last.

    Balance? I don’t know, how do we ever really know if things are balanced. I guess it’s a question of how I feel. In terms of this whole issue, I feel pretty much fine now. Especially cause I got to make a song. All the filmmaking endeavors leave me very little time for music so that was a blast for me.

    Back to the editing machines….

  21. lauren Said,
