     Someone -- I have no idea who -- had disassembled the bike and distributed its parts throughout the garage, so Chester was in a panic digging through everything looking for them

     I hear a door bang somewhere up in the stack of apartment buildings and this little guy comes running down the stairs apologizing because he broke his phone today and he couldnt receive calls.

     He opens up the garage, and it's just a crazy mess of bikes and disassembled bikes and bed frames, and vending machines

     I said yea, and that I was there to buy a bike from Chester.

     He replied that Chester lived there and that Chester has plenty of bikes.

     And he goes, CHEESE, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE. YOU GOT A GIRL WHO WANTS TO BUY A BIKE FROM YOU

     We agreed to meet at his house at 7pm. at 6:52, I was at the 7-11 down the street getting cash. He emailed me to ask if I was still coming.

     I text him back, thinking that would be more direct, but I didn't get a reply.

     I drove to his address and found an odd stack of apartment buildings behind big steel fences

     I called him and got no answer. I called again and still got no answer.

     Meanwhile, some guy with a junky pickup truck was using it and a tow strap to pull a car sideways out of its parking spot nearby.

     Finally he got out of his truck and asked if I needed something.

     So, I drove across town to buy this neat little folding bike from a guy on craigslist. It had already been posted on CL for a week before I found it, and the guy took a week to reply to me and say he still had it. I thought that was unusual because folding bikes usually sell really fast.
