I think once i got that bike back, i would sell it. It would give me a weird feeling to know they took everything out of the frame and put it in a new one, who knows how good their work is. My guess is ****ty.

Yeah, i wish there was something else apartment people could do with their bikes, they are so vulnerable. Too vulnerable.

When I went apartment shopping I had my bike in mind. I live on the terrace level and pull in through the patio. Bike lives in the living room/ dining room.
I've had my Maxima stolen in Aug 04. Recovered within 24hrs minus custom self-installed stereo system. My relationship with the car was never the same since. I think I'm over the attachment to THINGS now. If the bike was stolen, I'd just file a police report and insurance claim......... Naw, I'd be emotional, but I'd get another bike.

My friend corrected me. They did the sting operation at the local gas station next to the house. The had undercover cop cars positioned all over the place to cover any exits and used swat as a back up. About 20 cops in all. They also hooked up one of those listening device/tracker on my friend's cell phone to record the conversation. An undercover detective was there and played the role as being a friend of David, both walked up to the guy once he drove into the station. The second when the suspect got off the bike and turned it off, All of the cops rushed the guy and got him on the ground before he could react. He actually has a record of concealed weapons and grand larceny so this is why they had swat there.
They are continuing their investigation. The DMV inspector said that my friend will definitely get everything but the frame from the bike since it's confirmed of being stolen property. He's is doing an investigation of the suspects of where they got the new frame, where that came from and who is currently the owner of the frame.
I told my friend to ask the DMV guy to see if there was a chance to keep the frame on the bike as is, but get either a new title for the frame to my friend's name or get it reissued as a 'built title' with a new VIN number and reinspected by DMV instead of taking the whole damn bike apart, then finding his frame or getting a whole new frame.
Anyone have thoughts?
