shoud i just pretend to buy it and just show up with the cops ?? or shoud i just let the cops handle it ?

i'll go and "buy" it for you... have the cops on standby. whoever has it may know you or recognize you so that could complicate things.

The cops do this kinda thing all the time. I was inadvertently involved in something like this as an actual innocent buyer of what I later found out to be stolen goods and the cops know what to do.

I just read an article like this on yahoo. The girl had her bike stolen and cops would do nothing. She met the guy and "test" rode the bike and just took off with it and met up with her friend near bye. lol

I wouldn't be too worried. I kinda enjoy situations like that mainly cuz I am 6'4" and 240 and can be quite intimidating. But I'm also great at playing off whatever role I need to. I get a kick ou I it.

Either way, the cops can deal with it. Again, this would be a pretty standard drill for them. Ask them to send an officer to meet with you, explain the situation and they can let you know what steps to take. They love these kinds of cases because firstly they often yield more stolen goods, but second, they are pretty much and open and shut case that helps their numbers for the month.

lol thats one way of doing it ! i just talked to a friend of mine that is a cop and he just told me that they cant do anything when is a bike if its like a car or motorcycle yes , but not for a mountain bike . sucks !! but if anyone wants to recover it for me i will pay for a reward !!

Just go there and ride off with it. If you have proof it's yours they aren't going to do shit about it.

Also, some of these bikes are quite expensive. We spent a lot on our two bicycles. If it's worth <$100 I can see them not getting involved but at $500+ that can be a felony/misdemeanor

Also the fact it was STOLEN means you can press charges...So...Not sure why they would say they can't do anything. Someone steals an XBOX and cops go nuts over it LOL

Ok thanks everyone for the quick response , and yea my bike is worth about 1500 $ .

[Rev. That Guy]

Again, I can help you recover it.

If it is over $500 I think, that falls under grand larceny which is a felony. That would mean shiny bracelets for the bastids! I would call the police and insist that you want to press charges. Again if that don't work, let me know. I just wouldn't want to use my own cell phone number. Email would be possible tho.

Post up the cl ad.
