[JUST VENTING - Nobody is actually going to find this or get hurt for having it…]
I hope it was worth your time. That backpack is worthless to you, but it was a collectable to me. And it is very recognizable.
It is a triumph motorcycles backpack that only came with one year of bikes. It was never sold to the public, and is no longer available. But it is still worthless for resale.
All that was in it was a bottle of pepsi and some random USB cables. But you did wreck my day, and my wife’s. Since that was the bag that would have allowed me to get some groceries on the way home.
I have given 40 bucks each to a bunch of the folks at the mission with the promise of adding another 100 bucks to the person who finds it. 200 if they have proof they made you bleed.
If you would rather not get jumped by a pile of angry unhoused folks you should bring it back where you found it.
Piece of shit.
[Edit to add: Come on folks. This is obviously a venting post, and nobody is going to bleed over this backpack that has almost certainly already been tossed in a garbage can somewhere.]
There is no chance of this happening. This is 99.9% a venting post. I’m pretty sure nobody stealing backpacks in broad daylight on lower charlotte ran home to read lemmy.
I was down at the mission dropping off food and I was asked why I was in a bad mood today. I explained. Some folks offered to keep an eye out so I gave them some cash and made the offhand remark about someone punching them in the mouth if they get it back.
