Offer an outlandish reward for the bike .... along with the "lost my pride and joy story"

When it shows up ... have them hauled off (they are in poss. of stolen property )

Yeah, but it's a matter of displacing the risk. Thief goes for an easier target.

It's your fault for having something that can be stolen. If you didn't own anything, this would never have happened, shame on you.

What can a cop do anyway? In most cases all they do is file the paperwork to log the theft. It's not like they are going to investigate and try to get your property back. If it turns up somewhere the cops will know who it belongs to, that's about the best you can expect from them.

Cops have a limited ability to prevent crime, and an even more limited ability to un-do a crime. The one thing they do well is file the paperwork. So if paperwork doesn't make you feel safe, then you must try to protect your own property and person.

Shame on you for thinking the police are going to help you! You didn't happen to call them around dounut time, did you?

Remember dounut time is:

8:00 to 11:00 am
1:30 to 5:00 pm
7:00 to 11:30 pm

Lunch and dinner time is bad too:

11:30 am to 1:00 pm
5:30 pm to 6:30 pm

Good Luck!

curval... I would 100 times more rather you have a firearm that you were trained in the proper use of than some inbred "vicious dog du jour" of the day that may get loose and kill or maim someone.... Unlike a gun... the dog really does have legs and can get loose and cause damage on it's own.

Shoot back in college i knew a guy who stole a scooter with a ulock on the back tire ahd the steering column locked walked it home 1 block put it in the base ment took a hammer off came the Ulock then the tough guy just snapped the steering column. Once that was done all he had to do is open up the lock on the column and drop the yolks out ....... good as new starts with any key!

By the way sorry for your luck Curval i would seriously get 2 or 3 Ulocks and lock it to something!!!!!

ummm...not that I really want to bring this up but...you haven't seen me shoot a handgun yet lazs.

The whole neighborhood would be alot safer with the dog...trust me.

Besides...I'd go to jail just for owning a bullet..let alone a gun.

Ofcourse it is you'r fault.
You should have parked it in you'r living room and coverd it with a sheet.
Man you have been on that island to long:aok

curval... the vast majority of the crimes stopped by law abiding citizens in this country.... hundreds of thousands a year, are done without firing a shot. A vicious dog is another story alltogether.

No doubt lazs...but my plan is to get a lab. Just as your hundreds of thousands "without a shot" the biggest deterant here...without guns...is owning a dog. Doesn't have to be vicious or even big...just there. Theives stay away from houses with dogs.

I just saw the Bermuda stats on this...98.6% of houses broken into were dogless.

Beet1e and I are not too far away from each other with respect to gun laws and I fail to see how he could possibly blame this incident on the US.

I don't care about Beetles stance or beliefs on guns. Really dont care about yours either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Beetle does seem to think the US is a bad place and in his delusional mind, everything is our fault. I hope he never taints our shores with his presence again.

Get a ****zu or chihuahua, thieves are most afraid of those breeds.

lazs2 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 03, 2003, 04:04:08 PM »

can't imagine anyone being afraid of a lab but.... I want one of them little hyper dogs... a real yapper.

All i Want is the dog to wake me up so I can take care of the problem. I think I have better judgement than the dog.

FuFu the attack poodle, coming to Curval's home soon. If they dont stop the burglar, they are small enough for you to toss AT them
