To be accurate, nobody here has given any substantiation to their claim that, "there is no proof that any bike was stolen with a bic pen." Nobody has stated that they have read through every police report of a bike theft since the bic pen hoola a year ago. Nobody has claimed to have seen a report written by someone who has gone through all the reports. Nobody has claimed to have a statistically valid sample of police reports. Nobody has claimed to have read through any significant number of police reports even from a single town or university. In fact, nobody, to my knowlege, has claimed to have gained access to even one police report of a bike (other than their own) that was stolen.

As far as I can tell, the only valid claim that can be made is, "I am UNAWARE of any bike having been stolen through the use of a bic pen." Anything else seems like the tobacco companies stating that there is no scientific study that conclusively proves that cigarettes cause cancer.

If I am wrong here (and I concede that is a vey real possibility) then I would like to see some substantiation of why some people have been able to conclude conclusively that there is no documentation in existance of a single bike stolen with a bic pen. Just because the claim is made forcefully, doesn't make it true.
