chris.brock Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) 2 days ago, my brother in law hears a voice outside his window (6:30 am), then he hears his ATV fire up. He grabs his car keys, runs outside, and chases the kid for a couple miles, he's got video shot through his front window, running stop signs etc The kid turns into a field on the reserve, pumps the middle finger up and down a few times, then rides away Scotland Ontario, near 6 Nations 2012 Kodiak 450, EPS, camo it's insured but still $1000 deductible, and 85% of value, reserve and regular cops don't really care the moral of the story, don't leave your keys in your bike down here Edited August 21, 2014 by chris.brock
4x4bassin Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 No , that wouldn't PI$$ me off . Not at all !!!
can u fish Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 That type of activity sure occurs quite often up that way I do not think he will be seeing his bike again anytime soon.
chris.brock Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Posted August 21, 2014 I'm going to try to post the video here
Old Ironmaker Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 Chris, If bro has lived in Haldimand Norfolk long enough I'm surprised he would even think of leaving the keys in any vehicle. We know many, many who have lost there vehicles locked or not. My wife's co worker had her Dodge Ram stolen from a Shoppers parking lot in broad daylight. The call to the OPP resulted in her just making a report over the phone. They laughed when she asked what they were going to do to find it. Unless he buys it back he will never see it again, video or no video, sad really. When we are away I actually hide the spare keys in my locked home. And I have to say it isn't always those stealing that are from the reserve, often it is locals and end up on the reserve where there is a market for hot vehicles. It's a daily occurrence here.
Gerritt Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 Having lived right next to the reserve.... I am certainly not surprised. That said your BIL made it easy by leaving the keys in the bike. Most crimes are of opportunity.... Which this was. G
Rod Caster Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 Your BiL is better off just giving up and claiming insurance. You wouldn't want that bike back now... won't be in good shape.
Musky or Specks Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 I guy I work with just had his tricked out Ram stolen right out of his driveway and he's petty sure it went to the chop shop on the reserve.l He would have chased after them but his mom was worried about violence but he knows who the driver of the second car was he just can't prove itt.
AKRISONER Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 had a convo with an OPP officer in the area just a couple of weeks ago. She said that you can easily catch these guys doing all sorts of illegal stuff, but will you ever get anywhere with actually making an attempt to make an arrest? Nope... Cops cant even get onto the reserve when people are wanted for serious crimes, never mind recovering an ATV. File the insurance claim
pics Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 It can be a lawless place out there. I had a truck stolen and recovered on the edge of the reserve..burned out of course.. The only place in Canada where you can carry a loaded firearm and shoot from a vehicle and get away with it. The police out there know where the chop shops are but it's too risky to bust them up.
misfish Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) That sucks Chris Maybe contact these guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LOL Edited August 21, 2014 by Brian B
Joeytier Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 I failed to see the funny in this story lol That really blows. I consider myself lucky, I have never locked my home door once and leave my keys in my truck and toys all the time hah
Old Ironmaker Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 For serious crimes the OPP go onto the rez regularly in concert with Six Nations Police. The story really isn't funny. What was BIL going to do if he caught the guy? I know what we would all like to do. My luck the kid would be a member of one of many MMA clubs out here. 30 years ago, no problem, today I'd have to call 911 and be done with it.
Rod Caster Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 .....and leave my keys in my truck and toys all the time hah Good to know....good to know
Musky or Specks Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Good to know....good to know LOL
ch312 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 ATV's and trucks are big money on the reserve. Tell your buddy that the machine will never be recovered and has likely already been sold for much less than his deductible will be. And yes, the OPP are on the reserve quite regularly.
ch312 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 How on earth did your brother in law keep up with an ATV from Scotland all the way to the reserve? There are so many large concessions, fields, and bush lots between the two that it would be impossible for a vehicle to keep up unless the ATV ran the roads the entire way.
farsider Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 That sucks Chris! Living near a lawless reserve is beyond reason and continually exasperating. So...how cheap are thoses cigs and gas now? Cheers, Mark

We are assuming the guy who stole the ATV had half a brain on his shoulders, maybe he didn't, lol!
fishing n autograph Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 The reserve police don't help very often, there's not a lot of professional courtesy when doing investigations
Musky or Specks Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 They probably get a piece for looking the other way
Spanky80 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 Egad! You mean that police/government actually don't enforce some laws for our "native" friends that the rest us folks have to abide by? I just can't believe that
davey buoy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Hard to believe if someone steals,depending on where your from nothing can be done?.Unbelieveable in this day and age,some type of crimes are some what looked away from?.Never thought it was that bad still!
