The Bike Saga, I WIN EDITION!

The complete saga of our ordeal of having our bikes stolen and the incompetency of the Fairfax PD up to this point:

On August 18th our bikes were stolen off of our front porch in broad daylight. Police report filed.

September 13th, I almost run over the dumb bitch stole my wife's bike. She was actually riding the bike when this happened, right in front of my house...What kind of retard steals from their neighbor then rides the stolen goods right in front of their house? Her stupidity has turned out to be a blessing. We recover the bike after tracking the girl down. The girl claims to have bought the bike off of Craigslist... I guess the fact that her front door is 200' away from mine is just a coincedence... I call the cops and they catch up with the perp and her ladyboy looking boyfriend. Inexplicably the officer lets the girl walk...and doesn't even go and talk to her parents. Seriously he got her name and thats the extent of police work that he did. The real kicker here is that she is on probation... So here you have a girl in possession of stolen goods AND on probation and the Officer doesn't see the need to at least talk to the girl's parents. Makes perfect sense right?

Sidenote: The day the bikes were stolen I put an ad on CL notifying the CL community of the stolen bikes. I then monitored CL every day after that looking for our bikes.

September 16th, my wife runs into these two geniuses and tells them to do the right thing and give the other bike back (mine). They basically tell her to fuck off and mock her. I believe the boy's exact quote was "do you even know what CL is?" Implying that my wife is old, stupid and out of touch.

Fast forward to sometime in early December; After not hearing from Officer Softie I decided to get in touch with the Chief of Police and let him know how unhappy I was with how this case was handled. The Officer actually told my wife he was closing the case because there was nothing he could do...remember the girl was actually caught riding the bike! So the Chief had the case reopened and CL was issued a court order to release the records for August-Sept. This will prove that the bikes were not purchased and that the girl/boy did steal them.

Mid January; The Officer working the case called me and let me know of the court order and what was going on with the case. He also gave me the girl's first name...

Jan 23rd; It was a slow day at work and I started thinking about this shit (which really pisses me off to no end). So I google her name and find her Facebook page. I then had my wife look at the girl's friends to see if she recognized the boy...bingo. Now I have the kid's name. Off to whitepages to try and find his address. It was a semi common last name so there were a few options. My deputy looked at the school zones for the local high school and we chose the most probable address. Printed out directions etc.

Jan 24th; We go to the house where we think the nerd lives. The guy that lived there answered the door cautiously and we asked if he had a son. It turned out he did but this wasn't our perp. The guy was sympathetic and thought it was awesome that we were trying to recover our bike. He asked for my phone number and offered to help if he could (he had the same last name as the perp). Within five minutes he called me and said he knew where the kid lived. His wife and the perp's mother shared the same name so they often got the each others mail. He gave me the address of the other home.

We go to speak with the kid's parents. The father answered the door.
Me: Do you have a son named "nerdkid?"
Dad: Yeah...
Me: Does he have a red bike?
Dad: ..come in.

He knew exactly why we were there and he said he suspected that his son had stolen the bike. We then had coffee with the parents. They really could not have been any nicer. How that kid is such a loser I don't know. So I go the bike back and I'm going to confront the kid tomorrow. The father actually wants me to shave the kid's head, I'm considering it.

ME>Fairfax PD.
I got my bike back!
