I think the city of Roanoke Rapids needs to re-evaluate their drug screening process.

Maybe he should press charges for theft. Then sue if they still don't want to replace it.

I think i would be having the best bike out there now! He can get WAY more than the bikes worth if he really want too.

The whole story is fishy to me. 1. the bike was covered and the workers thought it was a couch? 2. Don't they separate trash? Since when does a bike take the same shape as a couch? I tend to think it was swiped by someone stupid, when confronted made up a lame story and played even more stupid. Granted I don't know the situation. Even with a claw to pick it up, wouldn't you look to see what it was? I think someone is going to be charged at some point.

That's what I've been thinking, someone in the sanitation department dishing out some payback for something.
Where's the random neighbor shooting video when you need them? LOL

Pretty sure the bike cost more than his house, don't think he could afford a lawyer.

[DGXSER]

Depending on the states or localities provisions, small claims may cover the cost of the bike and no attorney needed in small claims.

If not, some attorneys will work something like that for a cut of the award. especially since he could get punitive or emotional suffuring, time and effort in tracking down where the F the bike went...etc.
