Sorry this happened to ya, having just financially recovered from the 'attempted' theft of my own bike. Mine was an 'inside job', with at least one of the thieves sharing an apartment in my building. Once the guy was busted, we experienced a sudden spike in smash-n'-grabs from cars in the parkade because this guy was suddenly out of a job. 41 cars in 10 days. That's a lot of glass and a lot of cash in insurance deductibles. Every car except mine (newly alarmed, locked, & caged) was broken into. :rolleyes
Just my 2kms here but based personal experience, if you think it was an inside job and/or suspect the thieves come here: keep your comments to a dull roar until you have a better idea of who you're dealing with. Don't lay down the gauntlet and challenge them. In my case (as some of you may recall) I did and things got way out of hand. I almost got myself killed. (No, really.) The local lower-level idiots taunting me turned out to be working for a pro ring, levels of which I'm sure are still in business. It's quite an industry with many layers. Were it not for the VPD, I'd still be 'traveling' as I did for several weeks after my incident. Unfortunately, I still have to move. FWIW, just leave the matter to the VPD and ICBC.
Please don't flame me.
