Stealing from an independent skateshop is the lowest. If you're going to steal shit, which I don't condone, at least do it at Sports Authority or some shit like that.
But, Mike, in your case, I think the dude was probably less asshole, and more crazy.
P.S. Artichoke, don't you feel guilty about throwing away all those gloves after you've used them to cut peppers?
