Dori Monson found his favorite Craigslist post of all time, illustrating the frustration with Seattle leaders.

Uploaded in the “lost and found” section of the website, the ad features a photo of an orange Trek bicycle parked in a Wallingford driveway.

RELATED: Bicycle-friendly Seattle not so charming when it comes to bike theft

In its original form, the ad reads:

Lost my gluteus, this bike was STOLEN last week by some Meth/Heroin addicted, mentally ill, needle littering, crapping outside my office, freeloading, douchebag BUM. Thank God for our City attorney Pete Holmes and the Seattle City Council, who are not prosecuting misdemeanor crimes anymore. They’d rather give my friend Eric a ticket for parking 12″ inches away from the curb in Ballard – while the Bums in this town can desecrate our public property w/o even a “warning”. This is my nephews bike – if you see it around please send me a pic of the guy riding it and where I might find him – so that I may go have a chat with him…………

“I just had to share this with you … It is so emblematic of what is happening around our region,” Dori said.
