So I went to make a police report, and basically, what the officer was telling me is there is almost zero chance of getting my bike back. What the heck, like they don't even want to make an effort to look for it. Or even check if there are CCTV footage at that time. But i understand that the thieves will sell the bike almost immediately after the crime. dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-88660534516028620732018-10-06T13:23:17.008+01:002018-10-06T13:23:17.008+01:00That's horrible.

The only way is to brace yourself and get another one and soon you might prefer it to the old one.

I totally feel for you: I would hope that they would have assimilated your information into the morass of others' lost property they hold: but morass is probably the right word. Andrew's words ring true ... it is just so frustrating that someone will steal another's property for a mingy sale ... let alone the effort you have to go to, to fulfil all the bumph for this Crime - perhaps it should be CRIME - and ultimately raise earned income to buy another ... take care and I'm so sorry this had happened. Can you 'chip' the next one?

If society tolerates these minor criminal acts and those who should investigate the crime put little effort into solving the crime, then it snowballs into something much larger. Say the bike is worth £200. If you were to go to a department store and steal goods worth £200, some effort would be put into finding and prosecuting you even though no one is directly out of pocket, only a large company, unlike yourself who will be directly out of pocket when you buy the replacement bike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-1276069168055120252018-09-23T19:02:50.805+01:002018-09-23T19:02:50.805+01:00It is sad that someone stole your bike.
