Steal that one back as well

This happened to me except that straight up told them that was my bike and said I’m taking it now. I did verify that they weren’t in a dire financial state before I left though because if it meant they were not going to eat tonight, I wanted to make sure they were taken care of.

This reminds me of my favorite scene from the movie Slacker.

I just pictured a movie scene in my head where she narrowly escapes the guy, riding the bike like a bat out of hell. He pulls out a gun, starts shooting as she disappears in the distance. A cop car arrives, lights flashing. She’s forced to take narrow and hazardous back alleys. Cut to police dogs barking. She fords a river while carrying the bike over her shoulder to erase the scent.
Late at night, still riding the bike, she arrives at her home, totally exhausted, covered with dirt and leeches, hair disheveled, only to find her actual bike - that looks exactly like the one she just stole from the guy, who is really poor and had to sell the bike to pay for his divorce - chained to the lamp post in front of her house, the same place where she had left it.Obi@sopuli.xyz 15 hours ago

I like to think that whole epic popped into your head in complete form in a quarter of a second upon seeing this.

Two wheels don’t make a bike.

You say /s but I vaguely remember someone being arrested for something similar in the US. Because I guess justice without the approval of a judge is illegal over there.

Technically not stealing if you’re just… reclaiming your own property 😭 brilliant move.

Something similar happened to me. When my bike was stolen, I notified all of my local bike shops with pics of my bike, and a detailed description about where damage to the frame was, and the numbers stamped on the bottom of the frame. Also filed a police report. I was devastated because this was a bike I built, and therefore custom. (I bought the frame, fork, derailers, chain, rims, tires, handlebar ect as separate components and put it together myself.)
The thief brought the bike into one of the local shops because he couldn’t figure out how to inflate the tires through the presta valves. The bike shop recognized it, told him to wait while they took care of things, called the police and stalled long enough for the police to show up and arrest the guy.
I eventually got my bike back after it was done being evidence. Fuck bike thieves.

When was this that the police cared about a petty burglary?
14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 7 hours ago
if you basically solve the case for them and all they have to do is to come, pick up the thief and improve their statistics, they might be more eager than if you want them to work.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
I think “where” is the more relevant question
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
25 years ago. Not sure if the shop called 911 or the local PD.
I recently had a bike stolen from where I work. I happen to work for the state government so the theft was caught on multiple cameras. State police found the guy 2 weeks later after issuing a BOLO, arrested him, and since he was already out on parole due to a previous record, the thief went straight to prison. This last incident was 2 years ago.
ACAB, but despite that some actually enjoy solving crimes.

A custom bike is valuable enough to meet the definition of grand larceny in many jurisdictions.
