Stolen bike recovered after 4 years (NZ story)

[DMNTD:Me]

Keen to return it to road. Considers his ZX14 a tourer (replaced a ZX10), so looking forward to the more nimble R1 for Coro loops, etc.

Random question time, is his ZX14 a goldie colour 2007?

Thank you Adolf. If ever there was a place that begged for external review by the judiciary, in my experience it is schools.

If the justice system has, as you put it, no place in our schools, what place does it have anywhere in society? I think you're thinking too small. Why should we extend the benefits of our justice system to people of different ethnicities than ourselves? those professing different relgions. Why, indeed extend it to women or children? Really, it should be kept for the people who deserve it: the white, the male, the middle class and up.

Twat.

this! Oh fuck yes this!

I agree the the reach of the justice system shouldn't be limited. Unfortunately in this case the justice system is being used by the rich so they can avoid consequences. Most kids don't get to overturn bans on participating in a sports event, especially not if the ban was a result of behaviour significantly bad enough to warrant a police call-out. The recent cases of school punishments being overturned hasn't been any great moral victory, rather it has been showcasing the fact that in New Zealand the rules don't apply as long as your daddy is rich enough to buy you out of trouble.

Indeed. If they want to bleat and moan and not take responsibility and try to over turn the school process. Charge them for entering a restricted area lie jerry brownlee. Will have much further reaching consequences

Sadly any theft is supposedly covered by insurance (and if you don't have one you are fucked) and so it is low priority for police. And a theft that is 4 years old and all the work that needs to be put in to the case to get somewhere. The time lost on solving a case when there are speeding tickets to hand out...

Nearly everybody I know has had their car broken into or stolen. Don't bother calling the police unless you need a file number for an insurance claim.

Yup, our family is in double figures with burgs and car breakins - joys of Auckland and (then) living near a state housing area. Never had any solved or even investigated, never had any interest. The biggest one was $12k of tools and damage to 2 cars while we were at home, and the cops weren't going to turn up. I took it to the police station and one of the guys there I know through bikes so convinced the fingerprint guy to take prints with no luck. One before was at a wedding on the waterfront - cops admitted they wouldn't do anything and "here is the form for the insurance" which wasn't worth claiming. Haven't bothered reporting others since it is a waste of my time.
And that is how you get the crime stats to drop.

And this state of affairs is soo fucking sad! People do not report crime. No wonder the crime statistics are showing an improvement... At my old job we walked out in the morning to take the van. Motor started, all was well. But van did not move. After some investigarion I found that the driveshaft had been stolen over the night... When I contacted the police they told me to drive the van to the station to fill in the form.... Muppets! I went down in my own car and filled in the form. And that was the last we heard of it.

Soon we have a country full of slow driving criminals.....

and cops that keep punishing the victims...

every crook already knows they won't get caught unless they speed.....

Great to hear a happy ending. I'm glad he got his bike back. Cops don't care. What do they do exactly? They don't investigate robberies, got speed cameras up taking photo's, I think they sit in the McCafe all day.
