Materials were still scattered across his property, the roof remained unfinished, and winter was approaching. When my friend Bertram learned what had happened, he decided to find the roofer\u2019s address. By Tuesday evening, thirty motorcycles were parked outside the man\u2019s home. Thirty bikers sat quietly, waiting.
