I think TC might have a good idea. Although, since you could have been killed, I think I'd take a different route.

I was actually thinking about this earlier.

If it were me, I think I might actually go to the police & tell them the whole thing, including the name & telephone # of the bike repair person. I would tell them that I want it on record in case anything happened to me in the future.

I do NOT think that they would think this was weird (& who cares if they did think that anyway - the public pays them!)

Anyway, I might first go to the repair guy & get him to write what was wrong...the technical stuff. Get him to do that first & then once he's give you the paper, ask if he'd be willing to write that it could only have happened by being done on purpose. he might not be cool with that...if not, okay.

Then, I'd tell the police exactly what happened - exactly!!!!!

If they asked do you want them to do anything I'd say, no - not at this point, that I just wanted it on record & would be telling my roommate that it's on record at the police dept.

If they say, 'sorry lady, we can't do anything...etc' I'd say, 'that's okay, I just wanted it on record in case something happens to me'.

Then I'd (preferrably with both roommates present)
tell mean roommate something like:

"The other day you asked me how I was getting to work. I told you I'd be riding my bike. Next thing I ride my bike; it's broken & the wheel almost falls off; I take it to the repair shop & they say I could have ended up dead & the damage could only have been caused by someone tampering with my bike. I am just letting you know that due to the seriousness of this situation, I have been to the police & filed a report, so that it's on record, in case anything were to happen to me in the future.

I'm letting you know that all conversations, including that between you & I, and that between the bike repair folks & me, are now on record at the police department, as well as all the details of the damage to my bike & the fact that it could only have been caused by tampering.

That's all, just wanted you both to know. I'm gonna make a coffee....either of you want one?"

& then walk towards the kitchen.

I think this would actually put some protection in place for you.

And guess what......if the police say that they can only write a report if they investigate & go & see roommate etc.... and if you are not okay with that, I'd just lie to roommate & say there was a report even if there wasn't!!!!

I know this might sound extreme, but guess what - you could have been killed! And guess what - other people could have also. You could have been riding along, the wheel starts to wobble; you loose steering; your bike goes onto the sidewalk bumping into a lady pushing a stroller, knocking the stroller over, injuring the baby, causing the lady's dog to run out in front of a car, which slams on its brakes & fishtails, hitting another cyclist & causing a big truck to hit another car etc etc. And guess what - this is NOT even improbable!

((((((((((you))))))))

It might feel scarey to think of confronting your roommate. But the other option is scarey also. She sounds like she has serious problems.

If you ever want to discuss this further I'm here.

love, Kath
