Well, it seems that he did not file a complaint, so maybe it wasn't his bike either ? ;-)
Anyway, good job the police.

It's possible these thieves work for the police in an undisclosed manner. It's not that uncommon here.

Although the Judge often posts unsubstantiated disparaging posts about locals, he has a point in this case.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
