Yesterday, my bike was stolen from in front of Big Bazaar outlet in Bhubaneswar. Just two days after it completed an eight-hour non-stop marathon to Balasore(Orissa) and backL. I had parked the bike at around 7 PM and came back in 20 minutes; it was missing from the spot, right in front of the main gate of the outlet. I roped in two constables who were standing there 10 feet away while the bike was being stolen, and they wasted time running around. Later, they called up a patrol party, who wasted more time blaming me and flipping off others around there. Finally, I waited no longer and went to Infocity PS to file a report. To cut the story short, they took in a written report and asked me to deposit document copies the next day.
The cops are doing their work, it seems. A friend reported that a mechanic working on a stolen bike has been taken in from a nearby locality. I have very low hopes, but I do pray each moment I live to get the bike back.
The dream-run has come to an abrupt end. It feels like getting a limb severed off. Do remember to put an extra lock on you bike even if you are letting it away from eyesight for just five minutes, just to be on the safe side.
