Boulder Perl Street
I parked in the free bike parking on Perl St. yesterday and went to dinner. When I came back my tank bag and saddle bags were all open and empty. The only thing left hanging on my VStar was my baseball hat hanging on my phone holder. I put my hat on and went into the Cheesecake factory to collect my thoughts, get out of the rain and get some cheesecake. After setting down, my head began to burn intensely as well as part of my eye and my upper lip. It came on a little slow but in a few minutes I was on fire! I couldn’t figure out why so I took off my hat and went into the bathroom. I tried to wash with soap and get off whatever was irritating me. That is when I noticed my hat was stained a dark brownish red color on the inside and IT SMELLED!
Long and short of this story, someone stole my bike gear then sprayed pepper spray on my handlebars and my riding hat (yes I was riding squidly that day) while I was parked at Perl St. Something new to watch out for now!
