Man…I thought the Romanian stereotype on 2b4u was just a meme
So I’m not the only one who thought about r/2balkan4you immediately – u/Potatochak did too
My family has a coffee store in Greece and we are located next to a Romanian travel agency, so we are working with A LOT of Romanians. 99% are good decent human beings, but oh boy! Those who steal are another level, they will steal anything. I swear one time someone stole the TOILET BRUSH, i repeat, they stole the fucking toilet brush.
Thanks a lot to the romanian police for the help then!
Leaving a van full of valuables in Roubaix only ever results in one outcome unfortunately. 40% of people in Roubaix live under poverty line and criminality there is noticeably over average for a city this size.
It’s not a lawless city or anything but I would clearly avoid leaving any valuables in my car overnight.
Who makes bikes out of gold? The material is far too soft and too heavy.
If you’re going to steal such expensive bikes, why send them to Romania? I can’t imagine there is much of a demand there.
Rumanis do what they do best
One must be an eejit to steal track bicycles. Not like you can ride it on the roads.
