Bikerdown 2. Help a stranger

[nightfox272]

Hey sven, did they end up catching the person?

[svengalie]

@nightfox272 no idea, tried to help the guy. No money, destitute, jobless, etc then suddenly he's spending money fixing his bike from his hospital bed. So frustrated i washed my hands of the whole thing and haven't heard since.

[nightfox272]

@svengalie ahh ok, probably for the best then :) btw, did you end up getting unbanned from geocaching?

[svengalie]

@nightfox272 I bamboozled them with common sense.

[nightfox272]

@svengalie a win!

[Thejdogitsmorestreet]

Google street view is a good idea, but is it current? It's been two years. It's probably too late anyhow. Sorry.

[KingPanther13]

Has anything become of this? It's been two years now.

[iRazgriz]

Google Street View =]

[Rangerscott69]

I dont understand how to get the birds eye view.

[4quater]

this is great idea, People are always hitting and running when it come to bikers. Google earth is pretty up to date. I looked up my address and the picture was taken like 2 months ago of my house. If anything maybe this guy will get his karma and die a slow painful death from cancer.

[mscuk999]

whats the cordnance?

[13mordeth]

Great effort Sven. Good on you.

[Taff2493]

Hi Sven, send me a link to the map of where I need to look, and I will give you a hand looking for the bastard, also send me any other details you have Make,Model etc

[svengalie]

See link in description :)

[kb3gjp123]

This is only a few minutes from my house. Can't believe I did not hear this.

[azorea]

um yeah like you said ..not quite close to your house in reality.. lots of same names in different cities..

[zypp33]

Excellent Ideas here,the best thing is publicity,it's a small world if your hiding something. Lets hope a youtuber lives local & makes a connection...Good work Sven ... & M !

[luckisjinxed]

I wonder if it'd be possible to get some kind of information from the Maryland DMV? Like a record of all registered Cherokee Laredo's in Maryland (or just the city)?

[DanER6F]

sounds like a good idea, do any M13 fans work for the Maryland DMV? that would be helpful.

[Jahnsie]

I just found out what needs to be done about the police:

NACOLE: National association for civilian oversight of law enforcement:

CALL: 1-866-462-2653 ... Have the officers name and address nearby, and you should be able to tell what exactly happened. Got this number from a friend who had similar problems, and they helped him pretty much, they also have a website. Like i said, i would do the call but i´m from oversea, so my telephone bill would be a bit too much heh..

[svengalie]

I passed this onto the guy. Thanks :)

[guiltyxxspark]

I've posted a link to this and Mordeths videos on all the social networking and forums that I belong to. I called the police and gave them the case number and got put on hold for like 10 minutes. Fuckin pigs don't care about this.

[robinphillips]

Hope someone can do something for him, sounds like the poor guy got a rough deal... :-(

[madmax050589]

it sounds like a good idea, but i dont know how old the pictures are. what if the guy was @church or something. in the end, it's like a 50/50 chance you will find him. anyway, i mailed the local newspaper. i would call the asshole cop but i'm a long way from the us and probably my accent would make me sound like a james bond villen

[Jahnsie]

Most maps are from 2004-2005

[amilliondead]

Sven, we could divide the map up using tools on google earth. That way everyone's search area would be superimposed on the map.

[distortedfears]

the only problem with this is that i looked at the area where i live and the shot they have of my house is over four years old

[mexidub11]

is that google earth???

[shoelace889]

i am in if you need any help

[onlyplaytabs]

I'm game, Sven. Why don't you make us a forum topic about it? Set up a map zoomed out and set quadrants for each. I'm sure we have enough people on the forum with a good eye and some spare time. :D

[panik011]

It sounds like a great idea but im looking at the map now and i honestly cannot make out the majority of the cars, for all i know it could be a truck or a mini from the view im getting

[biglandfarm]

also from mordeth's description the cops dont even give a shit

[biglandfarm]

sven this is dannyboy, u need to get mordeth into this, because acording to hom he has lots of american viewrs, they will be alot of help

[barra2k8]

surely all the local police need to do is type in make and model of vehicle in to database and be able to find resistered owners in that area. really hard to believe they are doing nothing whatsoever to catch this bastard!!

[number94]

I emailed the newspaper earlier - does anyone in Maryland know how, most effectively, to get some political pressure going? I mean which mayor or senator might be of use?

[Jahnsie]

telephone number: 410.638.3210

Wouldn´t hurt to call i guess.

[Jahnsie]

Oh and, i would do the call, but my english sucks and the telephone bill would be much to high lol

[overlord200218]

Ill take a part of the map sven!

Glad to help!

Ninja forever :D

[emergency56]

if ya ask me the guy who hit him is prob some type of law enforcement... or the cops just hate bikers... both ways its bullshit.. but happens all the time.. even here in Canada.

[samcaplat]

He messed with someone in the YouTube and Live video community

BAD MOVE !!

Could you send me the location details in a PM sven ?

Cheers

[svengalie]

It's all now on the link.

[samcaplat]

cheers Sven

Taking a look now

[Jahnsie]

That is actually a great idea! Setting up a website would also stir some attention i guess..

[JustinVonDoom]

It's a great idea. Only problem being that the MSN "Bird's Eye" view is rarely updated. I still see a car in my driveway that I got rid of over a year ago. Another good thing would be Google's "Street View" which gets you up and close. Only problem being that rural areas generally don't have it.

[svengalie]

True, but this combined with google maps, cominbed with whatever other ones are out there maybe we'll get lucky? It can't hurt.

[Jahnsie]

You´re right. Just a thought: Maybe you could make a website where everyone can sign up, and you or somebody organize who is searching what!

[Phantasy92]

yh it is a gd idea. but like u said if he had his car parked on the drive. however it is a start to track him down and could work. are you gonna lob the map are up on ure site?

[svengalie]

When I get more details from the poor chap yes.

[Phantasy92]

lol just looked at ure site and u got the map and all set-up. on the map it says 2008 so it should a recent map
