Here's the tiny app I mentioned to help batch-scan books with an Android.

11:44 pm - unhybrided
My bike was stolen last week. This went almost entirely unnoticed by a security camera that happened to have it in its frame. The picture's too grainy to identify the thief, or indeed to see anything except that it happened a mere fifteen minutes after I parked, in full daylight in a good neighborhood.
Then during the night I had a dream — I don't usually remember my dreams, but this one's interpretation was clear: I was riding a bicycle and suddenly felt something was wrong, so I looked down and I saw I had flats in both wheels. Yeah. I really liked this bike :-(
Anyway, just a day before this all happened I was standing in line somewhere and struck up a conversation with someone who's clear chainline I had spied. Turns out the Raleigh it was on is a singlespeed he had converted beautifully himself, and he might be able to help me out with building a fixie. I'd been planning to do that anyway, but now seeing as this may turn out to be my main bike, I'll splurge on something nice.
In the meantime, I'm riding my old guest bike, which is the best crappy bike in the world, I love it.
last theft, last bike
