Bike thief gives advice on bike ownership

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

I apologize for cross-posting if you've read this before somewhere else :) but I thought it was worth mentioning it here.

Recently the Somerville Patch interviewed Mathew  Berry (riding his bike in Davis Square) on "further reducing the cost of bike ownership". Two weeks later they ran a story about a bike thief named Mathew Berry who has been arrested for stealing bikes on Beacon Hill. Patch doesn't realize the connection until it's pointed out in the comments.

Doesn't bother me, though I think Denise Taylor would have handled it more diplomatically.

Looks like he misunderstood your tone. Ah well.

A later commenter had a good point about libel, though -- we don't know this is the same Matthew Berry.
