Suppose you see somebody attacking a bike lock ...
What do you do? When you confront the person, the person claims that
the key was lost, or that the combination was forgotten. What would you do to tell whether the truth is being told, vs someone trying to steal the bike? FWIW, let's say you're the police. How does the PD make such a determination? Anyone with actual experiences in this area? Later, Nelson Chen __o Same road Boycott Wal-Mart, union-buster. _`\,_ Same rights (_)/ (_) Same rules |

Anyone with actual experiences in this area? http://www.torontosun.com/News/Toron...64463-sun.html A rough ride Cops took panhandler's bicycle By RADHIKA PANJWANI AND BRIAN GRAY, TORONTO SUN 'A Brampton real estate agent and a surveillance tape spoke up when Toronto Police thought a homeless man was giving them the gears. Loren Campbell says he used his savings from two months of panhandling to buy himself a new red bicycle from Zellers on May 6. But one week ago, police officers confiscated the bike at Eastern and Carlaw Aves. because, Campbell said, they didn't believe him when he told them it was his. "They pepper-sprayed me," Campbell, 40, said. "I told them I had bought the bike from a Zellers store and showed them the receipt." But the numbers on the register tape had faded and police wouldn't take his word for it, he said. Real estate agent Roderick Stewart -- a frequent contributor to Campbell's coffers over the last six months -- first heard the story Thursday when he walked by the panhandler in his usual haunts on Yonge St. south of St. Clair Ave. "I believed him," Stewart said. "He knew dates and places so I checked it out." Stewart, 47, went to the Zellers at Victoria Park and Danforth Aves. and staff there went through the surveillance tapes -- where they found visual evidence of Campbell buying the bike. So Stewart took the tape and a duplicate receipt to the 55 Division police station at Coxwell Ave. and Dundas St. E. on Friday. "They took it upstairs and I guess that was enough for them," Stewart said. Police gave the $200 bike back yesterday but without the locks Campbell said he needs to ensure his bike isn't stolen overnight. "(The police) know how to take your stuff from you but they sure don't know how to give them back, do they?" an irate Campbell said, waving the keys for his lock on the steps of 55 Division. Stewart said he would buy the homeless man some security for his one worldly possession until police hand back the $70 lock Campbell insists they still have. "Everything he has said has been truthful from the get-go," Stewart said. Police at the station refused to comment yesterday and referred questions to a police superintendent, who will review the case today.' |
