Stealing a Bike

This is a story of accidents.

To start, I left my wallet in a jacket I wore to work. Didn't realize until I was back at my apartment and starting the process of taking my pants off and relaxing a bit by the TV. The problem arises when I am due to look at an apartment in Northern Liberties in 15 minutes. I originally planned to ride my own bike, but remembered it wasn't in my possession (long story). Arriving home and not seeing my bicycle I turn on the primal instincts, scheming how I will get to the apt.

There are several bikes in the stairwell of my apt. building. All of which are small, beat up, and have flat tires. Needless to say I must take one. I took the closest one to me and left a note on the wall reading, "Sorry I took your bike. It was an emergency and will return it soon." P.S. I had a great cover story for the so called "emergency."

Long story short, I rode said bike, returned said bike and don't think anyone noticed. Does that count as stealing?

Stealing a bike, check.
