I'm tipsy and pissed, only one thing's worse than a thief, and that's a tweaker. I've got a strict zero tolerance policy, pull either around me, win a free trip to traction! A mod should probably delete my half drunken rant, but either way as a means to vent my anger at The Sign Guy's misfortune...
If I catch any human being stealing or using methamphetamine, I will show them my deep, strange, obsessive love for hammers, and my extensive collection... From my twenty pound Matillo de Dios to my two ounce upholstery hammer. I'll need both, the big one for grinding their bones to make my war paint, and the little one for nailing their hide to my wall...
The bike is gone bro, traded for a bag of dope worth maybe 10% of the value of your engine. The cops don't care, and it'll never go to court, if it does, nothing will come of it. Yer screwed anyway, because it'll be tied up in evidence forever, IF THEY RECOVER IT, and that's only if a crooked cop don't decide he likes your bike more than you do, or takes it home for his kid, or his mistress' kid. That's what happened with one of my rifles,years ago...
Sicvus Pacum Parabellum- to secure the peace, is to prepare for war. Carry the fight bro, call some friends, and handle your **** man. Nut up, go get some answers. I come from a family of outlaws, I know a few things, take it from me, strike first, strike hard. You seem to have an idea of who done it, were I you, I'd be lacing up my skull stompin boots! What's a cop gonna do, really? Write a report, maybe snap a few photos, and go to lunch. He's probably planning his meal as he's talking to you. In these situations they're worse than useless, they give you hope things will be ok, your stuff will come back, but it's it's a false hope, a distraction from the matter at hand. While you're busy dealing with the badges, the thieves are getting high off your hard work.
My house was robbed in January, I gave the cops three weeks to find anything. I found my answers in two days. Its all in how you ask...holding a hammer helps too. Especially if it's over your head while you pin their face to the ground... Hammers fix everything.
