My bike was stolen on Friday. Went to the police to file a report. They told me: "oh, we tell people to go look for their bikes at the Brick Lane market". I told them: "You should go to that market and close it down, because I spent the whole Sunday looking for my bike there and it's quite clear how they trade stolen bikes".
What's wrong with the police????!!!! They know where the stolen bikes end up and they have no will to track these people down and jail them? Or even recover the solen bikes? THEY tell US to go over there to look for our bikes? In 20 minutes in Brick Lane I knew exactly who the guys involved were and how they operated... can't the police do the same????!!! Isn't that their job??? What's the game here? It's insulting. And to think we pay their salary...
