Just make sure that you let everyone know how it goes down. I'd ask for a video tape but that's a far fetch

Just keep this post alive

Why not call the Police. I had a bike stolen once and after I called the Police and told them the value of the bike and the story behind it I had the bike back 2 hours later.

Is it not there job to sort out matters like this? I wouldnt risk letting this guy slip away.

I've seen these things go lots of different ways. A confronted thief is capable of just about anything, including lashing back with weapons and other crap that can get seriously ugly, seriously fast. And it ain't a video game. I'd say get the info together and have the police deal with it, or at least be on board with your plan. I didn't know Kyle and I don't know his family, but the bike is not worth the risk of someone else getting hurt. I know it's not my place to opine, just an outsider's $.02.

umm, without serial numbers the police won't do anything.

I know the address where the bike resides, i just need somebody to deal with confronting the guy...or somebody to give him a story so we can get the bike into a neutral place---aka bike shop--- and go from there.

I'm willing to cruise the joint and size it up. Post or PM me the address.

Go to the police first and see if they tell you that. They might, but this is truly a unique bike, the serial number shouldn't matter - it's not like it's a rockhopper and there are thousands of them out there.

stinkyboy · Mar 29, 2005

I agree with the cop route, but they probably need a search warrant, and if they make contact without one, the bike may "disappear" into the bottom of a canal. if I have the address, I can ride by with some buddies, and maybe he's out front washing it and we strike up a conversation blah, blah, blah and one of us can get the cops there while we're BSing with the guy. Bike's there and so is he...

What is there to scared about? Just ask them. If they say they can't/won't help move on to plan B.

BuddhaRoadkill · Mar 30, 2005

The only problem I see is that without a warrant, they can only knock and ask about it. All this does is tell Mr Asshole he needs to ditch the bike. If you got enough for them to get a warrant, move on it. If not ... get enough, it's your best option.

Matt D · Mar 30, 2005

You should definitely follow up soon with a phone call. Emails are so impersonal, they can just throw it away or put it on someones desk for it to get buried.

I'm afraid this has gone on too long and it's gone already. I don't understand why you've known the whereabouts of the bike, and took so much time to react to it. The cops will ask you "well why didn't you do something about this for the past 2 weeks if it's so important?".

Best of luck though! And keep us updated.

Its done, I just sent an email to the cops explaining the whole situation. I felt this would be the easiest way to convey the WHOLE story to the police. I sent it to the Mesa police department which is where I believe Kyle lived and the report was filed. Any information on the whereabouts of Kyle's report being filed could help me.

from my (fortunately) brief instances dealing with the police they won't do a single thing over the phone(i'm guessing email will be just as much of a dead end). Some departments allow you to fax a report/complaint in, but it seems most require you to go in person.

you might as well stare into the sun until your eyes burst into flames. an email?
I can just picture it now.
It's 8pm. I cut on the TV (cue theme music):
"Bad boys...Bad boys...what'cha gonna do..."
"Tonight on Cops" (cut scene to cruiser)
"Yeah, we're responding to a stolen property report by email" (rookie cop narrating )

A little far away from AZ to just make a trip like that. Calling the Local police is about all you can do. You gotta do it right in order to get it back. There's so many people on here though that live in the area and hell even the person who makes them would do whatever it took to get it back. There's enough support to get it back.

Good luck again though. It's good to know everything is as close as it is. Keep everyone posted

I haven't known for two weeks and done nothing. I've been trying to contact friends of Kyle's in the area so they could do it in person. I don't plan on the cops taking that email and going to recover the bike. I was more or less hoping for a phone call in which they could let me know what kind of help they could offer. I will be following up with a phone call later today, I just wanted them to have something to go off of, (pictures, references etc)

If I could personally go down to the police station I'de love to but that's not going to happen!

not bagging on you bro...I was just adding some dramatic comedy to the scenario.

It would be novel and hilarious to hear it on Cops.

stinkyboy · Mar 31, 2005

Here I sit in Phoenix, willing to help however I can, and I am still not getting an address..

ssk · Apr 6, 2005

bump

news?

stinkyboy · Apr 6, 2005

I've spoken to several cops who told me all they can do is "knock and talk", which will cause the bike to disappear...

I got the name of a woman who was close to Kyle, as well as one of his buds and shared the info, who said they were gonna show up "in force" to ask for the bike back or call the cops. I told them I would love to be part of it, but at least call me back and let me know the outcome. I have not heard back. I will hopefully be posting good news soon.

bizutch · Apr 6, 2005

personally showing up and "removing" said item would be my avenue...but I don't play nice so I'm not the right person to be giving advise. One local shop owner had a guy write a bad check for a bike..found out where he lived...and pulled up in his yard with a 4 man goon squad...the guy gave him the back back.

dante · Apr 6, 2005

bring pictures/description of the bike. I sure as hell would not be very receptive to 5 guys showing up at my door demanding my bike, but if you have pictures that can prove that its the only one in existance, he might be a little more understanding.

gschuette · Apr 6, 2005

So almost a month and no bike yet?

A large group of guys with some big trucks and guns should get the message across. J/K I do hope you guys get the bike back. Good luck on the vigilante justice thing.

How hard is this? You have numerous people telling you they'll help you get the bike back. Just get the damn thing or let this other guy have it.

I'm stupid? :eek:

stinkyboy · Apr 11, 2005

Sadly, no news yet, but I'll make some calls this week and see what's up.

stinkyboy · Apr 14, 2005

I talked to some people last night and was told that: "The roomate had a detective involved and I think he's talked to the guy with the bike..."

Of course this came as sad news since the bike would not stick around if a cop comes up without a warrant...

I'm pizzed about this and will continue to try to find information.

bizutch · Apr 14, 2005

seriously just go over there and take the damn thing.

Kntr · Apr 14, 2005

Im willing to bet the bike is long gone now.
