The local newspaper didn't have the story, but I found it here:

Actually, I had a similar experience. I had the shop change brake fluid in both brakes. Got on the bike, and rolled up to stop before turning onto the street, and had no brakes at all. I managed to turn around and not get run over, and went back into the shop to chew someone out. The santa-claus looking dude who worked on my bike told me that he didn't need to bleed the brakes because he had used a pump to pull the old fluid out while he refilled the reservoir. I told him he almost got me killed. He was unfazed. The shop owner (Melody) was also unfazed. I took my bike elsewhere from that point.
