Those jokes have been pushed out at a cyclic rate. It's almost like a never ending chain. Oh well, grab onto whatever handles you can find, and enjoy the ride...

If you were going to make that pun, it would be tyred not tired.

Puns are like farts. If you force it, it's shit.

No 13 if you force a farts its a shart or sharty pants, which is still not a time to use shitty situation pun.

But I can ride my bike with no handlebars

The cost of running the finger prints for one stolen bike is higher than the cost of the bike. They aren't gonna do that. Police work and forensics is not like CSI made it seem. It takes weeks to get toxicology reports and almost a week to run a set of prints. Also only about 20-30% of the population has finger prints in some sort of system. Not all of those systems can be accessed for criminal searches without reasonable evidence that a member of that database (I.e military) committed the crime.

Lol you've never had to call the police about something getting stolen have you?

LOL you honestly think the police are going to spend tax dollars on something like THIS? Finger printing takes time and money, and they rarely do it unless absolutely necessary, for example during a murder investigation, etc... It's unlikely they'll actually DO anything about it, they'll probably just add it to their system because they technically have to. Also: unless your bike was registered, there's nothing they really CAN do. Even if they could do something, and they found the bike, if it's not registered they can't prove that it's yours. You're basically screwed.

Ah, you guys sort of beat me to it... Oh well!

might be too late as he probably did already

Where I'm from they do, but it could be because the crime rate is a lot less serious compared to other places in the world so they don't need to use the resources as much on other things. I've had someone come underneath my house and take a few things and stop to have a smoke and the forensic team came straight away which is why I made the comment I did

One they can take off some sweet jumps. I wonder if they've got any pegs?

I want to hear the follow up to this more than OP's story

What people really shouldn't be doing is taking what isn't theirs

A lot of people assume if something expensive is left in the yard that really shouldn't be in the yard, the people are giving it away. Like when people leave couches in the yard.

19- in an ideal world yea, but this isn't an ideal world. Don't leave expensive things unattended.

Agreed 19, but there's no reason to make it easy for them either. Leaving your bike unattended and unlocked in front of your house is like leaving your car running and unlocked. My dad lost 2 expensive road bikes this way too. You'd think he would have learned after the first one....

It totally was. I didn't even chain it up right. In fact if it was for the left over bike I probably wouldn't have noticed that mine was gone.

No, others shouldn't steal but I can't help feeling that there is a certain amount of responsibility on your part to make sure your stuff is safe. Hope you're able to get your own bike dude, that does suck
