ACAB, Bikes, Cops and Miscellaneous: Arrest them!

Arrest them!

Today, I saw my bike locked outside a Starbucks down the street from my house. It was stolen about 10 days ago from my communal laundry room. There was even a cop parked across the street, but I have no proof to show that bike even belonged to me. FML

Today, I rode my bike to the store because I only had a few things to pick up. When I walked back out after five minutes, my bike was stolen. I had gone to the store to buy a new bike lock. FML

Today, I came home from work to find the lock to my bike busted and my bike stolen. The worst part was a nicer bike was sitting right next to it without a lock. FML

Today, I realized that my bike was stolen. It was no big deal, my name and number was on it, but it was a crappy bike anyway. I live 3 miles away, and while I was on my walk home I noticed a bike had been thrown through my principal's window. Who's bike was it? Mine. FML

Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML

Today, I went to retrieve my stolen wallet from a train station. After I collected it, I returned to the place where I'd parked my bike, only to find that my bike had been stolen. FML

Today, someone had put a lock on my bike. While I was trying to saw it off, the police drove by. I was arrested for trying to steal a bike and released four hours later when they figured out that it was actually my bike. FML

Today, I biked to the store to buy a new lock, since biking is my only form of transportation. I left my bike unattended for the last time, only to come back with a new chain, but no bike. FML

Today, my bike got stolen because I left my keys in the lock. On my way home, I saw my bike in front of a store, unlocked. I jumped on it, only to get punched in the face by the guy that had taken it, and got it stolen from me again. FML

Today, my bike was stolen. Partially. Since I always locked it up, some asswipe thought it would be funny to steal the handlebar stem and the seat, leaving the actual handlebar dangling by the brake cables. Since there was no way to steer or sit, I had to carry my bike one mile back to my dorm. FML

Are you sure its your bike? You do know that bikes are mass produced. If you're absolutely sure its yours then take it anyway, lol. Break the lock and run [or bike]!

If theres was a cop across the street you made the right call not stealing it back. Can you imagine? "I promise officer, it IS my bike. HES the one who stole it!" Hehehe

Well, if you want the bike that bad without the cops catching you, secretly follow them to their house... ...but that would be creepy if you did that.

CREEPY??? He should take a baseball bat with him and make a bike out of the punkass who took it. Jeez, creepy.. It'd be creepy if he followed him and masturbated in the bushes.

You should have added your own lock and came back for it with a hacksaw.

actually- if you reported your bike stolen- an then found your bike- I would have just asked the cop- maybe there was some kind of marking on it to prove it was yours? then he would have had to show proof that it was his.

Generally the only way to prove something is yours is to register the serial numbers somewhere and/ or keep the receipts. If OP didn't do that he can't prove the bike is his. If neither person can prove ownership of the bike, the bike stays with the thief. Even if you report the theft with an amazingly accurate description you won't get your bike back without proof it's yours.
