There was an incident last time when I bought some booze on a particular pharmacy in our town. My friend lend me his bike, not just some cheap mountain bike but a bike worth not less than 1000 dollars. I made deal with the guard to watch over the bike and so he did, because it is part of his work on watching and keeping the pharmacy and as well as the pharmacy's customer in good hands. I placed the bike on the gutter, thinking that it is safe with the ALMIGHTYGUARD watching over the bike, I went inside the pharmacy. I bought some brandy and smoke, but due to plenty of customers rushing in that hour(12:30 am) I waited for my turn. I never missed on looking over the bike even though the bike is being watched by the "WITTED" guard.

I then looked again at the bike, but then I saw that the guard placed the bike below the gutter without my consent( in that angle, the bike is prone to thieves and snatchers). I never mind the guard's actions, thinking that it is still safe in the hands of the guard. After that, the guard went inside the pharmacy still looking at the bike, after a few minutes of looking over the bike, the guard picked up a box and put it in the inner part of the pharmacy. Naturally, his attention is not on the bike anymore. Having found out that the guards attention is not on the bike, I took a peep on the bike. The bike is still on the ground and unmoved. After that I payed attention on the counter and after 5 seconds of sight on the bike I looked again and saw that the bike wasnt there anymore. The guard is still picking up the boxes of not known reasons why he did that. I rushed out of the store and found out that the bike was gone and never could be found.

There are a lot of good and well deserving security guards, but the biggest lesson is never trust your belongings to a SECURITY GUARD!...........and never borrow a bike worth more than a thousand bucks!!!

It was November 28 when I went home, I was too tired and wanted to rest. I met my friend and her face was too excited when she saw me. She told me that the bike that I lost was found in LaPaz Iloilo City, in the Philippines (specifically in an alley named McArthur, Lapaz). There are too many boneheads in that place( I am not referring to everyone, but to some thugs with no future that all they have to do is do crack, drink, and trip whoever passes their alley and whomever they wish to trip).

When I got to the police station I was surprised to see that the one riding the bike was a female named APRIL from Macarthur Lapaz(I dont know her family name but I only knew her by that name), her distinctive feature that would easily identify her was a large mole beside her nose. She was interviewed by the police officer, took her name, and questioned her why the bike was in her possesion. Blood started to flow in my head when she answered the officer that the bike was sold to them by an unknown man and she even dont know the name of that man. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

She then stated that they bought the bike for 15 thousand pesos and they still have debt on that man, she even told the officer that she didnt even know the name of the person who sold them the bike. Imagine that someone offers you a 15 thousand pesos worth of bike, will you buy it from a complete stranger?. How very dumb!. She also stated that she is married and she is 17 years old. There is also a very mind bugling thing, they bought the bike for 15,000 pesos, but could you imagine where do they get theyre money?, knowing that they only have a small time fruit business stand?
