Wow, So yesterday, I was hanging out with my bud. One of his friends comes over, and brings along this other guy we kinda knew. Well, when we were outside smoking I catch a glimpse of this new dude's bike, lying on the ground. It's the exact same bike that my dad had which was stolen a few months ago, very expensive bike, and I knew that that anyone who would pay that much for a bike ($2000) would keep it in way better condition than this guy did. Plus, who the hell rides around a roadbike unless they're actually into it as a sport? So he goes to the bathroom, and I get the serial number off the bottom of the bike. Today, I called my dad and asked him what the serial number was (luckily he kept all the documentation). They matched! So we're gonna hang out with the guy again, I'll prolly tell him to fuck himself and then ride the bike back to my dad.
lol i would of called on the spot cuz what if he dont bring it next time? but yeah just take it back dont beat his ass or anything cuz what if he bought it off a crack head for like $20 or something doesnt mean he stole it u know.... let us know how it goes.....
True, he could have just bought it off your local rock smoker, but if you can prove he stole it, i'd reciprocate by helping myself to an equal amount (USD wise) of his stuff.
That sucks man. What if he did steal it? How else would he come up with your dad's bike? I saw file a police report on it rather than just taking it back. Or at least confront him and see the excuse he gives. Does your dad have proof of the serial # to claim the bike is really his?
you should ask him where he got the bike first. If he gets all nervous and makes up a bullshit answer, give em 1 to the nuts!
Pfft it's just as hard to prove someone stole your bike as it is to prove they kicked your ass and took it back. If you know it's yours fucking take it back. Whatever you do from then on is your idea. Not mines;
unless you have proof of the serial number, I doubt you're getting your bike back without a fight. gl, just don't get your ass beat 3 times.
jack it back end of discussion...before he sells it off and Etc or he ditches it. {off topic but funny} i went to the store one day just got off work and was heading home and what do i see outside the store my friends bike! so im like what the fuck? my friend never rides his bike. so i wait and then some dumb punk comes outside and gets ready to hop on the bike im like i fucking hate thiefs hes like what do ya mean then im like im taking that back and i grabbed the bike threw it in my trunk of my car and drove away he stood there like a dumbass and was like "what the fuck" but yeah get your dads bike ASAP because bikes get ditched fast.
Yeah, I talked to some people, and they've all said it's his dad's bike. Apparently his dad steals bikes, and the kid just happened to ride it. This makes more sense, he's a pretty friendly and clean kid. It's gonna be embarassing for him when I take back the bike that his dad stole (Because he's native, and around here, there is a horrible stereotype that natives steal bikes). I'm sure it won't result in violence. I'm a hippy, and he's reasonable. And yes, we do have the serial number to prove it's my dad's, that's how we figured out it was the same bike.
