Notice: Missing Motorbike

Well, i have tried and tried for the pass few days to reclaim my motorbike from our beloved men in blue, but with not success.

Its hard to believe that its been more than 2 months since i was told the wonderful news that my stolen motorbike has been found. But i guess all the high and euphoria has kind of deflated into one big dissapointment.

I was taken on a wild goose chase throughout the day. Initially, i just showed up, telling them that i wanted to reclaim my bike.. that was 1 month ago. But the officer-in-charge was not around, and instead, i was given a "Who-asked-you-to-come-without-calling-first?" So after that day, i made phone calls diligently for almost every other day, asking for the officer in charge, who strangely was never ever in office, and no one seemed no know where he was. Worse of all, they refused to give me his private number.

So after days and days of being accused procrastinating by my father, i finally got hold of the officer, and he told me he has transfered to another station, hence no longer in charge of my case. He instead refered me to... heres the gem....another officer.......

So when i finally went there today, ready with my helmet to ride home with my old -not so trusty - bike, i was again 'pleaseanty' surprised wiht a "He's-not-here-i-dont-know-where-he-is-you-have-to-wait-for-God-knows-how-long-sorry-i-cant-help-you-im-fasting-so-im-incapable-of-working-effeciently."

So after being refered to about half the departments in the police station, i finally spoke to some guy from some department, who asked me "Who found your bike?" I dont know! YOU FOUND my bike. How am i supposed to know which officer actually nabbed the thief and rescued my bike? "If you cant tell me who was in charge of it, i cant help you." In the, he told me to go to the yard to see if my bike was there. it wasnt, and in the end, the truth dawn. NOBODY... None of them knew where my bike was supposed to be. They expected me to know... If the police who found my bike dont know where it is, who does?


I dont want to get to much into the details, just that these people have a serious communication problem... not me...


So i went back empty handed... to my obvious dissapoinment... but not quite unexpected.. given the reputation of our police force.

Oh well... so much for that....
