One could equally argue that diamond thefts or Ferrari thefts help reinforce that idea, and that solving them doesn't. So I don't buy that explanation. Someone

One could equally argue that diamond thefts or Ferrari thefts help reinforce that idea, and that solving them doesn't. So I don't buy that explanation. Someone commented that the police think bikes are basically toys. I think that's closer; cops like powerful cars, utility-belts stuffed with nightsticks, handcuffs and tasers, and other "manly" metal shit. Bikes are for children, and for drug-dealers escaping down alleyways.
