This guy got lucky, in an unlucky sort of way.

br><br>Earlier this year, my montain bike got niced. I have
learned that bike theft is not heavily persued. Further,
there is no consistent nation (or world) wide stolen
bike registry that police forces use. A bike my get
nabbed, then taken as evidence during a bust in the next
town over, and even if yyou gave a seial number, not
get the bike back. The cops in the other town won't
know who has it!<br><br>I'll be buying a replacement
bike soon enough, but it still sucks to walk home (or
get a ride) when you rode somewhere. I have started
believing in commutting on a junky looking bike. But be
careful of putting good components on it, as many thieves
know bike parts.<br><br>-JOKE
