Have you lost your bike?

POLICE are appealing for the owner of a bike found in Hertford last Thursday (June 26) to come forward. http://www.herts.police.uk/crimedatabase/site/content.php?article_id=4893

Sounds similar to the one ridden by the Jack Nicholson lookalike that rides round town. Haven't seen him on his bike lately [:D]

What is odd is the attention given to this. There's more to this than an unclaimed bike, Watson. You'd better pack your revolver, just in case.

What point are you trying to make?

In this day and age of police complaining that they are inundated with paperwork and have admitted not bothering to investigate over 2500 crimes last year as it would be too difficult to find the crims responsible, why are they bothering to lok for the owner of a bike? Either they believe that the bike's owner is a bit of a toerag and they want to have a word with them or Hertford is the safest place to live in the UK.

My point is that it is rare for police to expend effort or advertise a lost bike, as there are many of them. To do so might indicate that finding it's owner would assist in a way other than just getting one piece of lost property out of the lockup. It does not suggest anything about the owner of the bike.

That has never made any difference before. Why should it now? Agree with Shunt. More to this than meets the eye.
