Put it on my bike to try it out, it slipped off while biking. Walked back to retrace my steps and someone told me they saw a guy pick it up and bike off with it 😔.
The only time he spoke to me was when he asked me to play less during a bass soli… smdh

I tried to ask her about her music and she said “oh you can hear that on the radio anytime, tell me about what you’re playing” 🕊️
