How often do you see this happen with a stolen bike?

[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 8818, member: 51"] Update: Went to the see the county Sheriff today to get my friends bike back. We filled out some paperwork and talked to the investigating officer. He said that in his experience, these guys will get off with very little time (MUCH less than a year) if ANY, and will likely only receive probation, a fine, and make restitution. He said this is due to the fact that the county is so poor, they don't want to pay to house them in a jail. The prosecutor will likely bargain the charges down. Not only that, but the defense won't release the bikes and want them saved ( pictures won't do) until an agreement is reached or a trial is over. Until then, they sit outside in an open parking lot. Out of all nine bikes they stole, my friends is the only one that got stripped down! They took body work, electrical, the winch, racks, etc. When we get the bike back, the judge will order that they pay for making the bike right again, but that can take up to 2 years according to the sheriff. :rant: Overall, it sucks. We would have been happier to get a stripped down bike an have the SOB's in jail for 3 to 5, than to have them walking and paying restitution. What would you rather see if this were you? [/QUOTE]
