[Updated] Perhaps the greatest missing bike flyer ever

[Click to enlarge image]

East 10th Street and Third Avenue last night via the Bagel Guy.

Per the sign, possibly a fake but still entertaining — "no reward."

"I don't even want this bike back. I just made these flyers to tell you that I hate you, bike thief. I hope you ride my bike without a helmet and get hit by a monster truck. I hope my bike takes you straight to Hell."

Updated:

Ah, so the sign is old... but apparently people are still putting them up... perhaps to help sell these T-shirts. Per the comments, the flyer is the work of David Shrigley.

    Someone in the East Village has a "front lawn"?

    Really?

    I need to meet this guy. Please find him and interview him. East Village bikers stand united with him!

    Pretentious hipster bs. Too "cute" like a Wes Anderson movie.

    Oh, it's a stunt to sell t-shirts? That's rather hugely disappointing.
