Someone spit on my bike! 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago

So The wife and I finally get out to go for a ride and on the way home decide to stop at the local Target to pick up a few things. When I came back outside after about 15min I noticed kids hand prints all over the left saddlebag lid. So I figure kid liked my bike and wanted to feel it no big deal. When I looked over at the right side bag someone had spit a big ole lugy all over it

WTF!Someone had to be so jealous they had to spit on it out of spite? Man I am just pissed and disgusted about it

Thank you for letting me vent, I feel better now

Ask Target to see their security cam footage. All stores have the parking areas monitored these days.

Good luck with that
The cashier at Target stole my wallet right off the counter
I set it there as I swiped my card, looked down and it was gone... not another sole around, not a customer, employee, nobody... just me and him
I said give me my wallet back and he ran outside to his car
I called the manager over and told him what happened, he asked if I had proof, I pointed to the cameras above the check outs, he said not without a subpoena.
I called the cops, they arrived, they asked to see the camera footage. The manager said not without a subpoena

My buddy's kid works at the store, he beat the shit out of the kid for me

I had several hundred bucks in the wallet because I was on the way to buy a little mini bike for my little kid, the worst part was my driver's license and social security card was in there
I never did get a replacement social security card
