Probably some saudi prince is ripping your bike around the palace grounds.

I would keep an eye on Kijiji and I wouldn't doubt that its in the backyard of some local pawn shop here in town as several of them will sell vehicles.

People usually don't steal things that stand out like your bike to use them personally.

I would recommend you post pictures and all the information you have (as well as an engaging story) to Beyond.ca

It's a Calgary based car forum that is much better equipped to mount an internet detective campaign for you than Calgarypuck is and they have been successful in the past when dealing with amateur thieves.

Default Recovered
Well my bike has been recovered in less than great shape. Who ever had it crashed it early sunday morning in the back of a parked car when i went to go pick it up in the impound lot i walked right past it and didn't even recognize it since they painted it with what looks to be paint bought from home depot ,,, i can't decide if its worth re-building i'll prob have someone look at it ... i guess if anything it might make a good parts bike

CPS wouldn't even finger print it, so disappointing


I would insert pics from my laptop ... but how does one do that? lol

Hopefully they were injured as a result of the collision. Best bet is to get an insurance pay out so you can start fresh.

That sucks.

Why don't the police take finger prints in these situations? I had a similar thing happen with a car before and the police didn't care at all (and it was a small town with really not much else happening).

I don't know how insurance works in all circumstances, but wouldn't insurance cover a paint job now that it has been vandalized (painted)? What about any work it requires now that is has been in a wreck?

They said because it was stolen, and i did not give permission for said person to be on it they would not cover it even though i have collision ... and Vandalism falls under comprehensive insurance along with theft and fire

I think the police believe that it is essentially a waste of their time and resources to fingerprint, especially when they do not have suspects in mind.

I took a forensics science class while in university and one day we had an ident officer come and speak to the class. He said that it really gets on the nerves of officers when people ask why they're not treating their case like they would see on CSI (i.e. fingerprinting everything, taking blood samples, etc.). As he said the reality is doing all of these tests take money and resources away from more important cases when convictions are not likely.

I don't think the fingerprints would really prove anything. Anyone could have touched the bike before or after it was stolen.

Fingerprinting likely would have been a waste of time and effort in this case.
