That bike is probably missing from someone’s house too. Dude needs to ride it in front of a big rig…

Darn. I am sorry. Wish my team was working your case. That is solvable.
Watch pawn shops, eBay, and places like that for it.
There is a chance the police may know him as a local frequent flier. I hope it gets solved and I hope you get your stuff back.

Thiefs and vandals can’t stand them. I hope you recover your losses and put that dude in the slammer.

Murderers and pedos get a slap on the wrist, this bum would probably be in for one night and released to do it again the next day.

How do you ride a bike with a sliding compound miter saw in your lap?

I think you’d be able to find him, he’ll probably come back. Check/notify all local pawn shops
Rule of 3- You mean 2 to the chest, 1 to the head?

Damn! Hate that. And worse the police won’t pursue. My kids bike stolen from driveway one evening, camera out of wife’s car. And then this: woke up on a hot summer night thought I heard screen door to my office creek. 3 AM. I thought the wind. Then I thought I saw a flash. I was in bed upstairs. I put 1 foot on floor to stay awake and thought Oh probably light on aqaurium heater. But then thought wait a minute its like 90 degrees. This in NH. Then saw for sure flash of a flashlight. Every possibility went thru my head in an instant. Do I jump out onto porch roof. Do I call the cops, Do I use intercom and say house is surrounded. Did not have a gun But had my childhood piggy bank full of pennies about 6 lbs. Grabbed it and tucked to side of door and yelled Hello in huge voice. Crash crash… I went to window and saw a big dude running down the driveway. Then I took some clothes and threw them from the stairs into the living room. I didn’t know if there was more than one guy and saw this in a John Wayne movie once! Nobody else. Turns out he hit 4 houses around mine and had come from 45 miles away and hit a bunch on the way. Never caught him. Someone found my wallet 20 years later.
Similar story myself. Wont go into full detail, but essentially was informed by a detective that worked this particular case that he was the fourth detective to put eyes on it. The first 3 weren’t interested in working it, and this was a felony elderly abuse case, with over 100k in verified cash theft. Not exactly small potatoes, just lazy, overworked or incompetent detectives I’d assume.

Exactly, and Seems to be big problem these days.
The three S rule is:
Shoot
Shovel
Shut up
@7wt …“Did not have a gun…” I hope that incident fixed changed that for you!
I have zero desire to shoot anyone - certainly not over stuff… but if you are in my house at night, I have no idea why you are there. My wife and my kids’ safety come over any burglars well being at that point.

My nephew, NYPD says many officers turn a blind eye in fear of legal retribution. I can understand that especially considering the treatment law enforcement has received in the previous years. Not an excuse though, do your job! Regardless, it’s a sad state of affairs when people steal your gear in broad daylight
