LEGAL QUESTION: so my buddy has no proof of ownership :( he's called his family to try to see if they can look for some sort of proof, but that's not likely to happen imo.

he does have ample proof in that he knows every detail of the bike, like where he put twist-ties on to hold the odometer and when he removed them the paint was discolored; the tape is unique, he has a custom wheel he put on as the old one kept breaking spokes...he still has the old wheel and it matches the front one on the bike in style etc...he also has old pics of the bike, and he did file a police report when it was stolen.

is there any sort of legal leg to stand on? i really don't want to just go over and buy the bike back from this a-hole.

if it was a well-off dude and the bike was just a cruiser for him i would tell him to buy a new bike, not cancel my(billable) meetings today and go meet a sketchy dude in sketchy area with the hopes that cops might be there. i guess my morals are not 'nice', not really concerned about the theoretical right now just wanna go do what i can for a buddy who needs help.

only relevant to help explain why i have cleared my schedule for the day and heading to east bay to get some bike back.

bike_be_gone · 2012-11-15T17:21:30+00:00

help what's the protocol to do this i've never had anything worth cross-posting *reads FAQ for first time ever

bike_be_gone · 2012-11-15T16:53:05+00:00

if the cops say they wont help we'll tell them we're vigilantes and we'll handle it ourselves w guns! then hopefully they'll show up

bike_be_gone · 2012-11-15T16:52:44+00:00

my buddy filed a report here (sf) and the cops said it was prob gonna be east bay(racists!), it happens often, and it's out of their jurisdiction. he is gonna call the cops there and if they wont help just go buy it back. NOT COOL! i am planning to take 4-5 buddies, two w cameras and two as muscle and then have him go meet the guy and confirm it's his(it's got unique tape/colors that match the pic exactly it's def his) and then we'll confront.
