My wife, aka eagle eye, left work early on the prowl for the bike thief. Being her second case to solve, you do recall her apprehending two hulking Mexicans to retrieve a stolen wallet about 7 months ago. In that case fter canvasing several neighborhoods, she saw a similar truck, checked for heat from the radiator, it was hot. All 4 ft 7in of her walked up to the door, a hand with a wallet comes out, she took it and left.
But I digress, she left work early and by luck happened to see the bike parked ata gas station. She drove in and called me, I was about six blocks away, when I got there I ran up to the guy and tried to grab that chain around his neck, I missed it was a short chase and I had flopped out of both my shoes. As I ran out of the house I just grabbed some slip ons. He was gone. I drove around a little hoping to find him walking, I gave up looking and on my way back home there he was on the opposite side of the street, I pulled across the road, he put his hands up and circled around and again, were running, I stopped went back and got my car, I followed him, the guy was pooped out had no run left, he went down the street and around the corner. I boxed him into about 150 ft back and forth area, him walking, me driving. In the mean time my wife called her friend a policeman, he was on duty about two blocks away. He showed up, took him into custody, then another officer showed up, he happened to be the one that to the initial report. He got out his camera pulled up the surveillance picture from the store and compared the two, He said " yep, that's him". The thief had taken off the mirror, a cup holder and a bag I had on the handlebars. He also had cut off my lock and chain and put his own lock and chain on. The cops got the key from him and took the lock and chain off. They took him to jail. I signed to press charges. He'll be out in the morning. I'll still be without my missing items. Eagle Eye catches the thief again! Mikek
