I don’t understand this. Are they assuming everyone reporting a theft stole the bike they’re reporting in the first place? Even if that was the case, who in their right mind would admit it on a police report?
- jacquesm 4y agoIt is a joke...
- 0cVlTeIATBs 4y agoAre the police good-humored? Or is it not on the form, but a quip to poke fun at law enforcement, or at common bike "borrowing" in the city?
- jacquesm 4y agoThe latter. It isn't rare at all to have your bike stolen and the less fortunate have a choice of buying a new one or a second hand one, and that second hand one my be of questionable provenance. Bought on a bridge was an expression when I lived in Amsterdam. I've yet to have a bike stolen but I've always been completely paranoid about it taking my bike into stores and apartments :) This is a lot easier with a Brompton than with my current bike though.
