Funny thing, today I was passing by a shady 'resale shop' in the D & there was an "all original vintage Schwinn" out front. It looked to be some sort of mongrel based on a 24" Fastback, w/26" rims (SA 3spd) & fenders from a lightweight...all the parts were real clean, but frame was obviously repainted & the # under the headbadge was filled in--go figure. I recall the stories of my early childhood about bike chop shops where if you were unlucky (or careless) enough to get your bike jacked, it would emerge hours later from the chop shop completely unrecognizable--repainted, all the parts mixed & matched from the other recent victims. The kid down the block could have it & you'd never know. The thick metalflake paint on the "all orginal vintage Schwinn" looked like it could have been done back in the day--maybe this was a different sort of 'survivor bike'? Regardless, I wouldn't touch it for the $150 they were asking. I could build a hell of better bike for that much cabbage--you could too--even w/all legit parts.

Like tartosuc was saying beat his ash.. The cop told me "It is against the law 2 knock someone off of it Even if it is your bike or not, That would be assult and battery." Then he says, "Your a big boy if you think you can handle the person on it, Beat the hell out of him!" I know dam well if i see somone on my bike that got ripped, The mother wont be able 2 move the next day.. Or chew.. or smell.. Or walk :mrgreen: I got a bad tempor. If i start i cannot stop..

I was on youtube and saw this. I know its kind of off topic but its kind of funny. The first part of the video I didn't think the guy was taping anything.

Well here, in France, things aren't any better : no one is allowed to own a gun, and cops don"t give a f**k about anything that might happen to any random citizen. Afew weeks ago, a friend of mine just got out of his house and stumbled into a guy that was actually inside his car, trying to steal his car stereo. He just got on him, maybe threw a fist or two at the guy, then locked him (a bit stunned, ok) inside the car and called the police. And guess what ? My mate was the one the policemen actually took to the police station, for having kicked the guy's ass...
All the same I once found a bike, obviously a stolen one, in my backyard, told the cops that were hanging in the street, and all they answered was "well yeah, we got hundreds of them stolen bikes. No way we can find and contact the owner. You just better keep the bike". Which I did, and got it stolen from the same back yard like 6 months later...
Ain't that a strange time we're living...
I might well be the coolest guy you've met, but thievery is the ONE thing I just can't stand. Isn't that the most primary matter of respect that to not take from others what they possess ?

So Martin it is true that French cops do their own thing, whatever that may be... Here they are more proactive, but not about bike theft. Apart from telling people to register the bike, they don't do much else. They don't even have any stats on how many bikes were returned to their owners.
haa dorox, I put that video on my myspace, Im telling every1 to watch it too!b
well I guess that's something international : cops don't give a f**k about bikes. In a way, I can imagine they have plenty of other things to do, but in a place like here (I live on a coastal city, where each and every inhabitants owns a bicycle, and tourists bring their own or rent bikes), bike thieve is a real everyday problem.
