*Bean Steals A Bike*
     The Bean was today fined €450 and given 69 hours community service after being found guilty of aggravated bike theft in Dublin's Store St. last September.

     The offense took place after The Bean had been out drinking with friends in a local pub. On his way home he spotted what was described as a defenseless child wheeling a bike. He assaulted the child, who can not be named for safety reasons before stealing his bike, fortunately for the child, Timmy Wheelan (6) the offense took place outside Store St. Garda station. Alert Garda immediately spotted the offense and chased after Double B.

     To the Bean's dismay the bike had punctures in both wheels and no chain. The Bean immediately gave himself up to avoid a beating at the hands of the Garda but received one regardless. He was questioned and released the following morning but was re arrested after Garda spotted him attempting to steal the bike back from the Garda impound lot.

     BN spokeswoman Margaret Thatcher today released a statement to the media on behalf of the bean who wished to thank Ceb for doing his community service and informed the homeless defenseless child who can not be named for legal reasons, Timmy Wheelan (6) that he would find him and beat his €450 fine out of him regardless.
