Posted: 17:50 - 19 Oct 2018 Post subject: What to do about a local scooter thief |
|
|
So, my working-from-home GF went on a walk during lunch today, and spotted the results of some fishing by the local constabulary:
https://cdn.bcf.44bytes.net/files/fishing.jpg
One of these is an SH300 owned by me and stolen a month or so ago - it's the third scooter in, in the centre row. This was the SH300 that was originally bike-jacked from me, then recovered in a pretty poor state (dented front wheel, snapped suspension, dubious frame straightness). I had it parked up in my rear garden, for occasional cannibalization for spares.
The engine has been completely removed (an engine I swapped myself), including rear wheel. Also, the clocks were removed. The only significant bit remaining that I'd want to take, I think, is the front brake disc, as that's an advisory on my GF's last MOT.
While my GF was taking this photo, she was approached by a chap the estate employs to pick up rubbish. He told her the police had pulled these out of the canal; and that he'd met another man earlier who told him that his neighbour steals bikes, strips them down and dumps the remains in the canal. And of course, this chap doesn't really want to get involved in reporting his criminal neighbour.
This pile of bikes is about 150m from my back garden. I'm inclined to suspect the thief may be quite close, and an examination of people's back gardens in the area may be revealing.
What would you do?
(This is actually the second stolen, crashed and then recovered SH300 that has been removed from my back garden. For all I know, this chap may think he's doing me a service.) ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

The canal seems like the appropriate place to dump his body. |

60% of the time? Is It's a scientifically proven fact that thieves commit less crime when they're dead.
It is the only solution, I would go as far as calling it the Final Solution but some people might get the wrong idea if I said that. |
As Albert Pierrpoint once pointed out, none of his 'clients' ever re-offended. ____________________ They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa, hey-hey,
the men in white coats are coming to take me away.
