"A Fort Greene chef, wielding a pan full of olive oil, chased an adult-tricycle thief on Sunday, sparking a madcap manhunt, a tricycle-car crash, and the rescue of a neighborhood icon."

This thread is useless without the Benny Hill music.

But, thankfully, the tricycle survived the ordeal, though during the unusual saga, the tricycle suffered a broken mirror, a bent axle, a broken chain, and a damaged rim.

Well, that's good news. I can identify with the tricycle and its owner, since my grandma used to tool around the block in her tricycle to get some exercise. Still, I was a bit more worried about the deliveryman who got his head bashed in with bolt cutters.

Hee! What a fun story.

I'm with you on the delivery man, CP.

Fort Greene has some nice places to eat. I credit the chefs and their pans full of olive oil -- may they forever prosper.

Anybody else thinking that "The Tricycle Thief" should be the final film of the trilogy?
