As we have learned from Kevin Kietzman himself over the last two days on his radio broadcast, he and his son, Spencer, had their bike (Kevin had either lent or gifted ihs bike to Spencer) stolen by all-time leading KSU basketball scorer, Jacob Pullen. Full details can be found here ( http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=21594.0 ).
I want to lend my voice in support of Kevin and Spencer, who have stated that they were victimized by Jacob Pullen.
Let's use this thread for ideas on how to help start the healing process, not only for Kevin and his son Spencer, but for all of those other victims (according to Kevin's statements on July 6th and 7th on his radio show, Jacob Pullen stole other bicycles as well. In addition, on July 6th Kevin said that Jacob Pullen routinely carried around wire cutters to do so).
Please, if you are victim, come forward. We will put our healing arms around you.

In the spring of 2006 my bike was stolen from outside of 1111 Vattier. I know that it was before Jacob Pullen attended Kansas State University, but I would say it is highly likely he stole it on a campus visit.
-
was it locked up?
-
Yes, by a cheap walmart lock in fact.

yeah, sounds like it could have been Jake based on the info I've gotten from 810 WHB over the last two days
-
kstate4life, it's not your fault. you didn't ask for any of this to happen.
-

Snip, snip.

Thanks for the support! I always thought it might have been Jake that took it, but now I know for sure. :cry:
-
Knew a guy who believed his bike was stolen, and then felt like an idiot because he found it on campus. Shame on you, Jacob Pullen. Not only did you steal my friend "Steven" 's bike, but you made him feel like a fool when you returned it to a different spot on campus.

Even though he got it back, the chain was still cut. Sucks for him. T&P

Lot's of healing happening here...silver lining of this horrible story.

A friend of mine in '08 parked his bike at Justin Hall. Came out from class and it was gone. Nowhere to be seen. He looked all over for it, and resigned himself to the fact that his bike was gone forever.
Two days later, he forgot that it wasn't Justin Hall he parked his bike at, it was Cardwell. He went to Cardwell to look, and there it was, still locked up and ready to be ridden. But you know what? Shame on Jacob Pullen for not reminding my friend that it was was Cardwell where his bike was. What a terrible person.
-
my bike got stolen near abe hubert middle school in garden city in about 1994. i know that there is zero chance that jake was in the area at that time, or old enough to snip the lock, but skeetbag has given me the courage to speak out. let's stop this monster.

Guys, I think this gets even worse:
My frosh('97) year the my then gf's roommate had her bf up for the weekend. d00d's truck got stolen from near Ford Hall. He called all the tow lots and the cops and no one towed the truck. He reported it stolen. The next day, he realized he moved it down the block.
Look, I'm not saying Jake stole the truck then reparked, but I am saying that I once saw Jake in a truck. Draw your own conclusions.

My bro had his yellow specialized bike stolen because he didnt lock it, I told him he was a dumbass then I saw a guy riding a yellow specialized bike a week later chased him down and it wasnt my bros bike. Moral of the story fear the beard not the bike
-
My roommate and I used to ride our bikes to aggieville and have the BK security guard watch over them. I can't remember what ended up happening to mine. Probably Jake. In fact, isn't he buds with that high-jumper who wore a BK crown after he won last month?

In fact, I bet Jake unlocked it and rode around and put it neatly back in its bike stand. eff you Jake.

During the time Jake Pullen allegedly lived in Manhattan I was allegedly living on 11th and Thurston. My bike was allegedly in the white piece of crap shack (no lock) behind 1030 Thurston, but not once did I notice it allegedly missing. That being said, I have no idea, but I'm assuming that since it didn't have a lock to break, Jake must have allegedly left it alone. Either he allegedly thought it was an RCPD decoy bike, or maybe his alleged thrill came from the cutting of the lock, not the alleged act of stealing.
tl;dr put your bike inside an unlocked garage. Much safer.
-
i never owned a bike in college, and was never sure why. with all this coming to light now though, i think God may have been protecting me from jacob pullen. thank you God, and shame on you jacob pullen.

Its really just a product of the culture.
In 2001 I often had Capri Suns and Dr. Thunders taken out of the mini-fridge in my dorm room by Ayo Saba, without permission. Over the fall semester this probably added up to over $12 in losses.
I know how Spencer feels. His courage in coming forward has inspired me to do the same.
Guys, its not just Saba or Pullen, this is a huge problem with the entitled nature of scholarship athletes.
You guys would not believe what athletes get away with at KSU. Would. Not. Believe.

damn man, that's like $15 dollars in 2012 currency, just to put it in perspective.
-
They HAVE to steal bikes and Capri suns because if you were to give it to them it would be an NCAA violation.

Waaaaay too many "alleged" here, I'm pretty sure Spencer made an airtight case.

my bike was stolen circa 2002 a week after school was out. I thought I saw it over the summer being ridden by a white guy in a dark hoodie. I bet it was probably jake dressed up as a white guy in a dark colored hoodie. He, Jake, seems like a master of disguise. 73% of the time criminals use a disguise, 56% of the time using facial hair.

100% of the time, Jake uses a hoodie.

When I was a kid in Kansas City in the 80's, someone stole my bike and threw it off a bridge into a creek near our house.....my brother found it there a couple weeks later. It was pretty rusty and didn't work so well after that....
We always thought it was the stocky bully kid from down the street....but just how old is Jacob Pullen ? :dunno:
-
Somebody, probably Jake, stole my bike on Houston street. Couple months later, I went to the police auction at the old police station near the Catholic church. hoping I'd find it there. Hundreds of bikes all stolen and left to rust away by Jake, most Murrays and other cheap crap. I looked around and found half stripped Merckx on a pile of scrap parts they were going to auction off all together. I asked if I could pay $5 for Merckx.
I still have it 18 years later, resprayed and trimmed out with Campy 8 speed. Thank Jake for helping get this classic bike for near nothing.

i had a bike stolen as a kid in mhk. called the police, they came to the house and filed a report. six months later i see some kid riding it and i'm like "hey bad person! that's my bike" and he's all "uh, we got it at the police auction." sure as crap he was telling the truth. gdrcpd.
-
Hmmm. sounds like
skeetbag did Tour de Apple (if they still do that) and doesn't want to tell Dad that he wrecked on Laramie after a couple jager bombs and bud lights. What a dork
-
How many "unsolved" murder cases do you think were committed by scholarship athletes? I bet what happens is detectives find out who did it, then when they see it was an athlete they're like, "Dear public, we don't know who did it. It is a mystery. Sorry."
-
forgive me if this has been discussed, but does anyone think spencer will ever tell his dad that he sold his bike to buy crack? He is only telling him that Jake took it because he knows that Kevin :opcat: enough to believe it be :emawkid: enough not to report it to authorities.

I think Spencer will be absolutely silent the same way Kevin will be and hope this lie dies down.

Lot of blaming the survivors going on ITT last few posts.

No one is more mumped in all of this than Spencer. We'll never forget this. If he wants to be in the media, it won't be for his alma mater.
-
In today's media world of twitter, it's easy to try and make a name for yourself, especially if your dad is BITB. He clearly didn't think this story would get back to Jake and thought he could piggy back off dad and share a "fun" story. It's all fun and games until you get called out. I don't think he thought this far down the road.

Kellis ran a blog for a rival school that called our coach and players some nasty things.
GPC is on his side two yr later. One post from Fitz about how the kid worked for GPC well and how him and his dad bleed purp, or some crap, and the majority of the fanbase will be right back on board.

We have a lot of fans who quietly do what they are told.
Good thing we are here.

I had a roommate who stole a bike one time. I promptly stole the bike from him and dropped it off at Bramlage so our bballers could have it because they deserved it more than that son of a bitch.

My fraternity had a beer olympics one year. In one event we rode tricycles around the parking lot in a race. My pledge brother/roommate was riding and was falling behind and he got bum rushed by Jake and Bill Walker. They took his tricycle and my friend tried to explain "hey guys, I know who you are, you are going to get in trouble." And Jake was like "ya but you're blacked out drunk you will forget." Really we were all blacked out drunk and I only remembered this happened by reading this thread. The last thing I remember is Jake jumping on the handlebars and Bill peddling away on the tricycle. It happened so long ago but really the pain has just started. WILL IT EVER STOP?!?!

Sorry for your loss, Emo EMAW.

PurpleBear once stole a bike from someone on campus. It had a lock on the wheel so he couldn't ride it (Probably a good thing cuz he was super pak'd) so he just walked it all the way home.
I told him it was a bad idea and that he should return the bike to its owner. He did.
Jacob Pullen, its your move... Do the right thing.

This is common with victims of traumatic events like this. Look at BITB, this happened to his son and just hearing his son retell the story, he was so damaged that he pushed the memory deep into his subconcious and the only thing that brought the horrible deed back to the surface was a bike ride while he was on vacation.
How many victims are out there and don't even know it?
-
I think Riley Gates had his bike stolen but isn't ready to talk about it.

I wonder if Eco Kat has a role in this as part of a reduction in carbon emissions, and Jake was her unwitting partner?

According to Kevin Kietzman he carried wire cutters. That's not "unwitting"

So...you're telling me that Jacob Pullen may have received transport from Briggs while a "student-athlete"? Thank goodness we have clean cut oscar now.

Not sure why you'd infer that, he's been back more than once since he graduated.

yeah. also briggs had him sign autographs there once after he graduated.

Why would Briggs give Jake a bike when they could give him a car? That doesn't make any sense.

Haha....I'm just trying to not think about football, so the words coming out of my mouth may not always make sense. Briggs sells bikes now? Great success.
