The bike thief name and shame thread

[imdying]

I'll get the ball rolling:

Name: Logan Greig Pilcher
Age: 28 (as at the 14/01/2008)
Where: Taranaki
More info: Stuff article

Yeah I saw that. Good on the owner for tracking it down. I would have thought the dealer should have seen any ownership papers before buying it though?

Dirt bikes/quads don't come with ownership papers, unless they're road legal (most quads aren't and highly unlikely a racing quad would be).

All they could do is run the #'s through some system to see whether stolen or not (and that depends if the #'s have been given to the police).

The named thief is only being charged with receiving, rather than theft, or did I read that wrong?

Good result for the owner, and sounds like the shop was helpful as well

$400 fine? Did he steal it or did he just receive stolen property?

If he fucken received it, he knows who did steal it. Just a fucking bad.

Slimey little cunts.

Good point that. As he had been paid out by insurance I would have thought the numbers should have been in the system.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at the dealership at all. This is why we won't touch second hand computers at all.

His statement to the police would be:

"Nah, I bought it off some guy I got talking to in the pub, he said he needed to sell it quick cos he needed the money for [insert lame reason: divorce/drugs/crack habit/skank is up the duff again/whatever]. So I said "I'll give you $500 for it mate" and to my surprise he took it. Nah, I din get a receipt, he seemed straight up. Nah, I dont think he was local. Nah, there was nobody else in the pub. [or, nah, it was while i was away and I didnt know anybody at that particular pub]"

So the po po can totally get him and easily with receiving (he knew, or ought to have known, it was dodgy, or failed to make enquiry), but much much harder to prove the theft: plus they havent got the resources or the interest.

So scumbag Pilcher gets a $400 fine which he won't pay, probably beats up his skank girlfriend and kids, then commits more robberies thinking he "got away with it".

One of the few things the Muslims do well is punish theives: cut off the fuckers hand. that'll sort him out.

Ahhh.... he's in the bike theft shit as far as I'm concerned... the depth doesn't interest me in the slightest.

You get convicted for a crime related to bike theft, then into this thread you shall go. Some nice moderator should sticky this and putting flashing lights around it.

Free bling for anyone that can add a proven matched up picture of any offender (i.e. don't just post a pic of your brother hahahahaahah)

You read it right, but without scumbags like him, there would be no market for stolen bikes.
It's likely he stole it anyway, coz how many thieves would own up to actually stealing it, I could imagine most would say they acquired it elsewhere.

$400 fine - wet bus ticket

I wonder if he's related to that boy racer Keith Pilcher, what got stabbed by that other boy racer in the naki?

[firefighter]

We all know he stole it, or is protecting the thief.

"Sir I require you step over to the side of the road and bite the curb without delay".....

stabbed in the naki?

my naki twinged in sympathy when I read that: terrible place to get stabbed...

It seems that you're less of a criminal for knowingly receiving stolen property than doing a little burnout.

[cbfb]

Am I being dumb here, but if you steal a bike, how do you manage to get change of ownership papers? Presumably you don't, because alarms would go off if you tried? And without papers the dealer wouldn't touch it?

Seems that is how it should work am I just being niave?

And $400, fuck me that's hardly going to convert a hardened criminal.
