Damnation's too good for him

Still think he's being let off easy. Why is it that cars are anthropomorphised - see 'Herbie', KITT from 'Knight Rider', Lightning McQueen from 'Cars' - and subsequently if you have a car stolen it is considered a terrible offence, but bikes aren't and if you have a bicycle stolen it is considered trivial, even if you use a bicycle as much as others use a car and for identical journeys?

Hello BB! Well give it a while to see just what's in store for this bike thief. I feel strongly on the matter also. I've had three of my bikes stolen while I was at university, and they were my means of getting around! After that I didn't get another one, I had to hoof it everywhere I went, I put in some hikes of several hours, to get to the city centre, to the zoo, and to the botanical gardens.

And I also had a car of mine stolen!!!

All of that sucked quite adequately.
