Have You Seen This Segway?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lock-should-weigh-as-much-as-the-bike dept.

Kringle writes "An April 28th theft of a Segway from a home in Kent, Washington appears to be the first of its kind. The Smoking Gun has a copy of the police report. The good news is that the thief didn't get the keys and is lugging around a big paperweight. No word yet from the Grand Theft Auto team about including a Segway in their next game release."

    "Theres no way they can hot wire it."

    BMW used to say that too. Thieves are better at these things than most people think they are.

    i have a bike, but i use my segway more now. i need to be dressed up and my work place does not have a shower, so for me riding a bike is for fun- not commuting. the segway ht didn't replace walking either, it replaced my car. sitting in a car for me is lazy and expensive, i've saved over $600 per month since i went to using my segway ht for most of my trips. i exercise more now than i ever did, mostly because i have more time and i'm not sitting in traffic. if you're interested you can read about it here.http://www.bookofseg.com/100days/

    find something better that works -for me- and i'll gladly try it. don't just say everyone should use a bicycle.

    cheers,
