Stop complaining, snowflake, you are driving a $40k Subaru and you care about a homeless person riding your bike?
Do these people actually ride the bikes or just cruise around in their cars with the bikes on a roof rack? I suspect the latter.
Not very progressive of them, I bet most have cars also so having your bicycle borrowed long term by one of the cities precious homeless should be a Badge of Honor they would be Proud to wear.
Who’s bike. Our bike.
I'm sure the people whose businesses were burned and looted by the BLM/Antifa crowd felt the same way and they weren't even given the option to buy their way out.
Isn’t possession of stolen property still a crime?
I don’t like cyclists.
I don’t like bums on the street.
I’m torn on this one.
Nothing is a crime in Denver any more.
"Give me $10 and the bike as a gift and I won't beat your ass..."
Here in southern Arizona last year, bicycles disappeared from yards, as soon as the immigrant caravans arrived.
"I would rather have my car stolen than this," said Carter Haun, pointing to his custom mountain bike. "It would be easier to get another car."I had to buy two handlebars and a seat to get the sizing just right.
This is what you get when you mollycoddle bums and thieves.
I dont think i would have that problem. A .45 in the face generally changes peoples attitude.
And legalize pot
Take a cheap bike,
Saw the frame into chunks, and insert balsa wood dowels in the frame to “re-conect” them back together.
Lock it using super cheap bike lock ( put small tag saying “display Purposes only” )
Setup a trail camera nearby.
Have fun watching the moron try to ride it away after stealing it
“Meanwhile, Haun said he had to pay $160 to get his bike back from the man pushing it.”
“I wish there was some way I didn’t have to pay to get my own bike back,” he said. “People said I shouldn’t have done that, but I wanted to keep things calm.”
Whatta snowflake. His fellow bike riders can thank him for demonstrating that bike theft is very profitable and trouble-free.
Denver Police haven't given a crap about property crimes for decades.
Except for one time, years ago. Some poor sap unwittingly broke into the Chief's house. DPD basically stopped work to throw every resource into finding him and the Chief's property.
“While DPD said they don’t recommend searching homeless camps because of safety concerns, a growing numbers of bike owners posting on social media say it’s the only way to get property back.”
Maybe the “defund the police” idea isn’t that bad of an idea after all. They can’t actually do anything, mostly because they aren’t allowed to do anything...so why employ them? They could all be replaced with interviewers and clerks for crime victims.
