NYPD bicycle cops gets his bike stolen

I guess someone is going to be losing some vacation days. 
I’ve Got a Wheely Big Problem!
April 27, 2012
Even cops aren’t safe to leave their bicycles unlocked in the city.
This bike cop found that out the hard way yesterday when a brazen bandit swiped his ride outside a Brooklyn store.
The theft prompted calls over the police radio for a “Level One mobilization” — a request for backup units typically reserved for real emergencies.
Officers fanned out across Bensonhurst from the crime scene at 21st Avenue and 86th Street to hunt for the purloined police vehicle — which was clearly marked with the letters NYPD.
Tommy Kwan, owner of Furniture Outlet II, said the cop left his bike unattended when he popped in to say hello at around 3 p.m.
Paul Martinka
“When he went to leave, the bike was gone,” Kwan said. “He asked if there were surveillance cameras, but we don’t have any.”
In addition to the bike, the cop lost his book of blank police summonses, sources said.

Similar thing happened here a few years ago, but it was at a party on a college campus. Never did get it back. Those Cannondale's are close to two grand, fully decked out.

I wonder if anything important didn't happen because they were all out looking for Barney Fife's bike?

Supervisor: "Hey there, hero. Here's your new bike."

Don't believe everything you read. Level 1 Mobilizations are mostly BS.

Not really. The book will be voided in the computer. The cop will get in trouble though.

EDIT: I mean what an ass! People should not steal!

That sucks.
Makes me think of when NY stole all those bikes because Obama was coming to town.

Don't hate. We had those as normal uniform shorts. It didn't last long.

The thief could still have some fun with it, though. Even if nothing he writes actually comes up in the computer.

But the thief could still write someone a ticket, and they wouldn't know it wasn't real, assuming whoever stole the book writes it reasonably well.

The ticket would come up as a lost and voided ticket if they tried to pay it.
