Man Steal Motorcycle One Piece At a Time

Posted by samzenpus on from the and-it-didn't-cost-him-a-dime dept.

A Chinese man was arrested for stealing a motorcycle over the course of 5 years from the factory where he worked. The man, identified only as Zhang, was an assembly line worker in the motorcycle factory and took Johnny Cash's advice by stealing the bike one piece at a time so he wouldn't get caught. "I don't have that much money, so I came up with the idea of taking the parts home and assembling them on my own," said Zhang. Soon after finishing his bike, Zhang was pulled over by the police, who soon discovered he had no paperwork. He admitted to theft, was fined, put on probation for a year, and ordered to return the motorcycle to the factory.

    You can't stifle initiative; you just channel it into less attractive alternatives.

    Actually it was in the article summary.

    New low for slashdotters, they no longer bother to even read the article summaries!

    Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

    HTF did you get any points for your last post anyway? Oh I guess the use of italics. +2 points for use of HTML!

    I Can use it too.

    Wait, let me mention a rod up the butt. Ahh! I totally deserve at least 2000 points for this post. I'm so clever.

    I think I will go to Starbucks and type this while reciting it outloud!

    Heh. Ironically enough, your crazed frothy-mouthed rant is actually a whole lot more humorous (albeit unintentionally) than your original "attempt at humour"! There's something quite sweet about a humourless person going nuts because nobody applauded their attempted joke: "GAAAAARGH I am being playful and lighthearted! Laugh, you bastards, laugh!"

    Seriously though. Lighten up.

    ...you apparently can't even RTFS. I mean, seriously. Two sentences into the summary:

    The man, identified only as Zhang, was an assembly line worker in the motorcycle factory and took Johnny Cash's advice by stealing the bike one piece at a time so he wouldn't get caught.

    I thought it was bad enough that 99.8% of Slashdotters don't RTFA (myself included for some articles), but if we can't at least agree to read the summary, how can we possibly have any sort of discussion. To put it bluntly, Epic Fail.
