I want to dedicate this thread to anybody who has ever been the victim of bike theft...

12pm. Tonight. Wednesday July 12. Coming home from Karl Strauss Brewery in La Jolla. In a car with my two roomates we pull into our apartment garage at La Regencia. What do we see - my bike moved from its original parking spot - and see a guy crouched hiding behind an adjacent car!

Instantly all three of us know what is happening. My bike is in the process of getting stolen. We get out of the car and yell at the guy to get down on the ground and stay where he is - as I call 911 to haul these *******s to jail.

Now the fun begins.

The guy - a 6' lanky latino guy makes a run for it. My first roomate catches him by the neck and slams him in the the garage wall. The dumbazz has long ugly azz hair - which my roomate grabs a full hold of and proceeds to lay multiple shots on his face. Im run in and start laying body shots to gut/ribs.

Now it gets less fun.

I hear my third roomate yelling from the car - "behind you Matt, behind you!" And I proceed to get a fist to the back of my head from a second short stocky latino man. I turn to face the new attacker, but he drops back and pulls a gun on all three of us - yells that he is going to "cap us" and to release his friend. Then they turn and run. As the turn I see what he really was holding - a cell phone.

Before we can pursue, a car pulls out of nowhere, picks them up and jets.

I run after the fleeing vehicle and although it doesnt have any plates - it has a dealership plate which I identify. Only then do I remeber that I have had 911 on the phone the entire time. I get back on the line with them, am quickly transferred to the police who get a fast report and then put out an APB to all active units.

At this point, I think we lost em. Im frustrated we fell for the damn cell phone gun. My ignition box is all torn open. The first tall and lanky man lost his shoe during the fight. We find a huge pair of bolt cutters hiding under the car he hide by, that they used to tear open my ignition.

Soon a cop is on scene taking reports. While taking the report his radio squacks to life; "all units, we have the identified vehicle located at the highway 8, highway 5 junction."

Holy ****! +1 to the cops!

Then the cop takes all three of us down to the Denny's on Rosecrans where they have the suspects surrounded by TWO DIVISIONS worth of squad cars - 14 in all. A cop later said that since the pursuit took them across division lines both divisions ended up on scene.

First they have us all ID the vehicle. Then they do the suspect lineup I thought was only in movies. We positively ID both the first male, the second assailant, and the driver. Who then all get hauled off to JAIL BIATCH!
THE AFTERMATH:

Then the cops proceed to do an A+ investigation. The return us to our apartment garage where the take photographic evidence of the untouched crime scene. Take prints off the bolt cutters. Confirm that 911 has the entire conflict recorded - as my phone was active the whole time. And get final reports from all three of us.

The two who we "defended ourselves against" are being charged with motocycle theft as well as assault and battery, while the driver is just being charged for theft. Turns out the one of the males had a warrant out on him for guess what - bike theft. And the second guy was currently on parole for guess what - bike theft. The driver was clean - but not anymore.

Bad news: the damage to my bike. It wont start, entire ignition box is torn to shreds. And some additional body damage. Its all going to be on my insurance which has decent deductibles for comphrehesive ($250) but its defintely going to cost at least that out of my pocket.

Morale of story: it was a good night. For $250 and a punch to the back of my skull we got to beat the living **** outta one bike robber, and get the others put where they wont be touching other bikes for a while.

Like I said. This one goes out to all you guys who never saw your bikes again.
