A few years back, my bike was stolen 3 blocks away from Central Police Station on King William. I immediately filed a report and was told to look for it myself in the pawn shops. 3 months later I came across it in a shop on King St. I still had the seat bag, lights and cyclometer, so it was easy to prove it was mine, not to mention that it was not a common make or model. The officer who accompanied me to the store told me that he believed the bike was mine, but as the pawn shop owner had "followed procedure" by asking for the sellers name and taking a photo of him, I would have to buy the bike back. Of course the sellers name was made up; the officer recognized him but told me that it was pointless trying to pursue him. Apparantly the law is being changed, but I'm sure if my car was stolen they would have made an effort to do something if it ended up in a car lot. Their attitude was "it's only a bike, don't bother us".
