yes, because it's up to each individual officer what they do with their time while on duty.

Bike Stolen!!!Brand new 2011 Zx6r
- Thread starter rashidme
- Start date
Oh boy, yes they are the ones that dare to buy a motorcycle and have it stolen to raise our rates.
I used to be in an apartment building, i had my bike chained and had an alarm, so did 4 other bikes on the same parking ground. One night I came in a my chain was cut and the alarm had been going on, the other 4 bikes were gone, stolen and mine was left by some miracle...they had chains, they all had alarms, they all were taken in one night except for mine.
The thief's knowing that the cops won't investigate is the primary reason for our high premiums, very little risk against high reward
If you increase the risk by having the police pursue every theft, the reward won't look so appealing

No offense to you (or your bike) but it won't be.
So you went from saying I expect to much from the police officers by wanting them to investigate when private property gets stolen to say it's not their fault because they are not told to investigate by their superior office? So you are saying that it is police department policy not to investigate when a motorcycle gets stolen?
I see, that rule is a code red!
Quote from one of my favorite movies - slightly changed to fit this situation
Capt. Ross: Corporal Barnes, I hold here the Toronto Police Officer Recruit Training manual. You're familiar with this book?
Cpl. Barnes: Yes, sir.
Capt. Ross: Have you read it?
Cpl. Barnes: Yes, sir.
Capt. Ross: Good. Would you turn to the chapter that deals with code reds, please?
Cpl. Barnes: Sir?
Capt. Ross: Just flip to the page of the book that discusses code reds.
Cpl. Barnes: Well, well, you see, sir code red is a term that we use, I mean, just down at 22, I don't know if it's actually...
Capt. Ross: Ah, we're in luck then. Standard Operating Procedures, 22 division, Toronto Canada. Now I assume we'll find the term code red and its definition in that book. Am I correct?
Cpl. Barnes: No sir.
Capt. Ross: No? Corporal Barnes, I'm a Police Officer. Is there no book. No manual or pamphlet, no set of orders or regulations that lets me know that, as an officer, one of my duties is to perform code reds?
Cpl. Barnes: No sir. No book, sir.
Capt. Ross: No further questions.

NFQ, indeed.
You think? lol not only are the theives bikers, but so are the buyers of the stolen bikes/parts.
Here's a interesting statistic that will put thinks into perspective. I don't have the source but remember it from a college.
1/3 of the population will steal and looks for the opportunity to do it
1/3 of the population will steal if they think they will get away with it
1/3 of the population won't steal even if they think they can get away with it
Let that sink in folks, cause 2/3 of the population will steal if they think they can get away with it.
And the other 1/3 doesn't wanna get involved, or their friends are doing it, or better yet they're getting discount parts from them.

This is where trial and error comes in. Performing many tests, and creating many theoretical designs to test.
I didn't say it'd be easy to do; but it can be done.
I'm curious, if you get your way and the police come what exactly are they going to do?
Check the video? Didn't they already ask you to send that? Dust for fingerprints on the concrete? Seriously, what are they going to do in person that is going to make this all better?
The situation sucks for sure, but lets not mistake "activity" for actual "progress". Just because a uniform comes by doesn't mean there are better odds that something is being done about this.

at least it gives you a sense of security and shows that the matter is not being dealt with lightly.
i am sure they use very low power so you can power them from a low power source. And powering them from the bike's battery would be a stupid thing to do, since you can easily disconnect battery cables.
How about running a hot wire in places where a potential thief would pick the bike? The basic idea is to have a big capacitor charged to some high voltage and as soon as someone touches the wire, the capacitor is going to discharge through their body, just like a tazer. It can throw people a couple of feet!!!!!
Yeah, then you will get charged with harming the thief, whatever it's called, assault? I am not joking, thank the Canadian laws.

True enough. There are a lot of douchy dishonest bikers (err human beings for that matter) out there.
I wouldn't be surprised if these same guys also commit insurance fraud by reporting their own bikes as stolen and then parting them out. I know a guy who did that some years ago with his custom Ford mustang.
Live where you have to use underground parking in this city.....you take the chance of theft. If I had to live there I'd be parking my shiny bike in a rented garage or shed. You take your own chances...then whine about the out come...don't make sense is all.
Condo bikers unite...start stealin mini vans.

Some condo's have bicycle storage rooms within the underground parking garages. If they had something similar for motorcycles where everything was secured by a separate fob access door with the room being CCTV recorded, the number of thefts would surely come down. But, given how cheapo the condo corps are, I doubt that'll ever happen.

Well... I would assume condo security does't make a whole lot of money to begin with. So if someone were to say.. give them a few bills for some friendly advice/knowledge... they'd probably take it.

Bikes can and will be stolen from those cages. I know people who lost bicycles from from Condo bicycle rooms.
rashidme howcome you haven't posted the video footage or their pictures up yet?
i dont have it yet, waiting for my super to give me a copy. He just showed it to me.
Post it up when you get it, plenty of users here visit various message boards and im sure someone somewhere will recognize this winner.
Most likely he's a biker too and somebody will know who the loser is
