I guys,

I just found my stolen MTB on gumtree.
I am 100% sure we are talking about mine as it is very customised.
It is located in Victoria but it was stolen in another state.

Is there anyone in Victoria that could help?


Thanks to whoever can help me!!!!!

Have you contacted the Police?

I'm not sure what the right way to go about this is..

Wasn't asking to be banned
I did but as of now they do not seem to be of any help.
I was hoping to find here somebody linked with the Victorian Police to give a push
Nice!
Got points to apply to your State drivers license? "F*ck yeah, that's National, buddy. We gotta keep an eye on that shit"
Got a POLICING issue across State lines? "Nothing to do with us, mate. Besides, we're too busy administering INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS on corruption and ADIC"

From multiple personal experiences, the police won't give a fuck. This goes straight into the too hard basket. If you want it back you'll either need to buy it or steal it.

Or post a wanted in the Rotorburn Postal Service, I reckon I would rather thump/deal with thieves as fucking dickheads.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when simple stuff like theft recovery is out of reach for the police force. I guess speeding quotas > actual crime solved.

My daughter is in the Police Force. There is a LOT of FUCKED UP SHIT going down every day and they don't have the resources to cope with it all. A possible stolen bike that may have popped up in another state is a fair way down the priority list. If it were being ridden by a guy who just bashed his wife and kids senseless, it would be a different issue.

^^ So true. Stories from friends on the force make me shiver.

On a lighter note... Old joke about this exact problem:
Calls cops:
"Someone is stealing [my bikes] from my garage!"
"Sir, we'll send a car as soon as we can, but we're really busy right now."
Hangs up.
...
Calls back.
"Don't worry about the guy stealing from my garage. I've shot him, he's not going anywhere..."
Hangs up.
Sirens - Catches thief red-handed.
"I thought you said you'd shot him?"
"I thought you said you were busy..."
