Talk to the Cops About Bike Theft

I'm guessing the majority of the readers of this blog would rather drag their naked bodies down a Mission Street sidewalk than talk to the cops about anything, but for the few of you that wouldn't mind, this community meeting to discuss bike theft in the Mission could be really valuable!  Or not.  I haven't been to the meeting yet.

That's right, on March 29th at 6:30pm in the Mission Station Community Room, SFPD will hold a meeting “to promote an open discussion between bicycle advocates, community members and the San Francisco Police Department on how to better respond to bike theft, current practices and how to better protect your bicycle.”  Yes, they want to hear your thoughts on their response to bike theft.

For those of you not already fast asleep on your keyboard, let me just say that it's nice to see SFPD stepping up their game in this department.  Sure, their current practices of fuck-it-let's-put-this-stupid-motherfucker-into-a-coma and creating a recovered bike database are great and all, but it's not helping anyone I know get their bikes/wheels/saddles/handlebars/spokecards back.  Perhaps something good will come of this?
