The Silent Number

Posted: 2009-05-11

I recently made a post offering $20 and a laptop to whoever slashed my bike tires without taking any action against them. So far, nobody has come forward , but the offer still stands. Perhaps i'll put a sign up where it happened or ask the school to make an announcement on my behalf. Why would i do this? To put it in the form of a corny quote, "Those who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it most". I've honestly always believed in that and wanted to do things like this. Just like anything else i believe in, there's just as much pragmatism as idealism in the idea. What good would it do to get the person in trouble? I'd rather know who did it, and, if they let me, talk to them about why they did it so i can hopefully convince them to not do it to anybody else.
