<<The cops won't check. They spend their time issuing tickets. No money to be made for the city in checking out thefts.>> Back in '75 I had a 900 Kawasaki stolen. Car pulled into the lot, guy gets out, cuts the chain and has a key that fits, only 4 different keys that year, bike and car leave. Came back later and nabbed a Harley. The next day I ran into a girl who had seen both thefts. She had the make, model, color and year of the car. Plus 6 of the 7 numbers on the plate and the last being either a 3 or an 8. I went to the police station and was told they could find the owner of the car but "it would be a lot of work". Tossed my paper in the trash!! That was only $10,000 of stolen bikes, now if they had the same info on a $10 parking violation ...

My new one has the front wheel locked at an angle, an alarm, a 10mm chain with a built in lock, and it is locked around a pipe. They won't get this one! Easy. Use a battery operated sawzall with metal cutting blade or a grinder to cut the soft metal post...lift the bike off and take to shop. End of story.
