Does this count as an example of an aversion? It needs to be filled out if it is.

I've moved the "Nigga Stole My Bike" thing to the New Media section. That was a terribly racist meme, and while the page should mention it, it really shouldn't be highlighted in the description.

  • Later Pikachu totals May's bike, then Dawn's... neither really minded it though.
    • Then it happens again with Barry's bike, though this time a Gible that Ash would catch by the end of the episode ate every bit of it except for the tire rubber.

My memory of the Pokemon anime isn't exactly fresh; did Ash steal all three bikes or did they just end up getting trashed, like Misty's? It's not clear from the phrasing.

Support stupid freshness, yo.

Removed the Grand Theft Auto and The Bicycle Thief examples. The former as I understand it follows a Villain Protagonist (or at least a criminal) and the latter consisted of nothing but a pothole to Exactly What It Says on the Tin which leads me to think *ahem* that it's about a bicycle thief not this trope.

* In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the first thing the main character does is steal a bike so he can escape hostile gang territory. No chance of returning it later if you run it over in your own garage. Crunch.
* Subverted in every Grand Theft Auto game, particularly in Vice City when Tommy apologizes to someone he car jacks, then steals the car.
** Of course, the bringing the car/bike/motorcycle back, as per the trope, never happens.

Another 'not a goodguy' example:

** Double subverted on NCIS Los Angeles: a suspect grabs the bike from a nearby cyclist, but throws it in the path of two pursuing agents rather than climbing aboard. While his pursuers are dodging the fallen bike, the suspect steals a motorcycle in accordance with this trope.

Support stupid freshness, yo.
