    Any way possible you can have KDVR news, add a reward to your statement or maybe you don't want to go that route?

    Sorry about your bike OP. Good luck getting it back. The few ruin it for the many in this world.

    That is such high quality, just enlarging it would produce a better screenshot to identify this scum, so enlarge the shot to show a close up of just him IMO.

    so why the f*ck do we pay taxes for the police if they only take reports when our sh*t is stolen and clean up blood/bodies when we are murdered or attacked. We'd be better off eliminating them and saving our taxes and defending and protecting our own since they are complete f*cking useless. And that way we dont have any mistaken notion that we can rely on somebody else who doesnt actually help in any way.

    At least do what the OP stated, "I understand that theft is low on their radar but I'm doing all of the leg work on this one, at least humor me.". It must be frustrating being in his position, with a $5000 bike you worked hard for and all he gets is a shrug from the police, then tells him to "take it up with the insurance co."

    Unrelated..I called the police 2 yrs ago when my truck was hit and the offender would not speak to me. The officer said "we don't get involved in this, it's not our job". I looked right at him and said "First of all, I asked him several times for his information and he wouldn't speak to me, and I'm damn sure not letting him leave. Second, I've been taught you call the police no matter how small so there's no bullshit after..and I don't know how much damage is done to my truck. Third, I pay taxes so you work for me and this IS your fucking job!" He didn't like that but handled the issue quick like a bunny.

    Related, I hope you find this asshole..bike or no bike. This is why people steal, because they can usually get away with it in the eyes of the authorities.

    When you get your next set of wheels, make sure you use the cable locks on your T2, not just the Ratchet arm locks. A separate cable lock works fine as well, but if all you have is the ratcheting arm, the thief simply needs to let a few psi out of your tires, and the thing pops right off.

    I'm really sorry about your bike. There is a special place in hell for bike thieves....

    Unfortunately I have an older T2 without the integrated cable lock, so I'll have to start using a separate one from now on. Or just put it inside the bed of my truck on top of the actual bed in the bed of my truck. This is an unfortunate wake up call as far as bike security goes.

    Sorry to hear op, thieves are the scum of the earth. On the bright side it is safe to say that they will eventually be caught. They may get away with it more often than not but almost all habitual thieves are caught at some point.

    I was searching Craigslist for "YETI" the other day (coolers) and saw your post about this guy and your bike. Crazy that you're also on TW. I live in Lakewood by Red Rocks Community College. Will definitely keep an eye out.

    Thanks man! At this point I'm considering it a lost cause as I haven't heard a peep from the police, haven't seen anything on Craigslist, and haven't received any hits from the newscast. Nonetheless, I still appreciate you keeping an eye out as I would like to see justice administered.
