Excellent question, one that perplexes me today. As there were three individuals in the car, that apparently complicates the issue. I was told by one cop that at most, this crime would be treated as a misdemeanor as it was ONLY attempted theft ( as I recovered my bike ). I asked if the money from a bank is recovered , is it then attempted theft as well ? No response.
In any case this event has made me even more vigilant than even before, so I consider myself lucky. Today while having my coffee, I had my bike locked to itself with a cable lock. At least it would slow the process down a bit.
