Nascar types love those PT Cruisers. He also dresses like those fat, "Metal Mulisha" types. I'd check the Dale'.

I know as well as everyone else that the BPD has more important things to do than come out for a stolen bike. That is not the point. I pay taxes as well as most everyone else in this town. I expect at least a call back within a reasonable time. You wouldn't go to Walmart and give them money and walk out empty handed. You would expect something for the money you paid. I pay taxes and I expect something back in return. I think I deserve at least a call back even if they tell me what I already know. (WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.)After reading some of the comments I guess you don't expect much for the money you spend. Next time you need a service done call me first. I will take your money up front and not call or show up to provide your service. What I would really like is for everyone to watch this video and pass it on. We as neighbors and citizens can do a lot more to take care of ourselves. Lets find this guy and all the others like him and put a stop to it. Aaron Blinn

kknjtg, I'm gonna call BS to your story. First, when you call the police to report a crime that has just occurred, and with suspect information to boot, you don't get a recording. The phone is answered by a dispatcher. And you have called 3 times in 6 years to get this resolved? That too makes no sense. You sound like the type of person who better call KGET news to help you with your problem, since you obviously cannot resolve it yourself.

This bike was on PRIVATE PROPERTY!! What should we as citizens do? Pull out a 45 and blast the creep? Maybe. I think a simple returned call from the police could have gone a long way in defusing this man's anger. But I guess that's just asking too much. Simple kindness goes a long way.

It is a good thing a story like this is publicized The BPD might look at the video BUT they really need a license plate. Sadly many in the public thinks the BPD is lazy and rude. Yes they can be impatient but they usually do a fine job. "kknjtg" certainly has much more to complain about!

When I was younger I was always taught to keep the bike near or leave it at home. To the police not doing there job. I witness my neighbor slash my tires. wrote in blue nail polish on my car. She was wearing the nail polish. Called police left message on there recording. To this day after 3 calls and 6 years. I never received a call back or anyone come out.

Even with all the info on the thief the BPD wouldn't do anything. Yea I know DR999 will come up with some comment, but hey that's normal.
