Man steals motorcycle from dying rider •The Hamilton Spectator HAGERSVILLE (Sep 9, 2008) Someone stole a motorcycle from a man as he lay dying yesterday after an accident in Hagersville. Police say the thief rode off on the bike while its rider lay seriously injured in a ditch. The man later died. Police have identified the victim as 26-year-old Scott Henry of Brantford. OPP say a brown or light-coloured SUV arrived shortly after the motorcycle crashed around 3 p.m. Someone took it "while the man was lying there," said Norfolk OPP spokesperson Constable Jeff Walraven. Officers say the man was riding north on Indian Line between Villa Nova Road and Concession 2, Townsend, and was seriously injured when the machine went into a ditch and the rider was thrown. An SUV with several people inside stopped, and one man got out and stole the motorcycle. Anyone with information about the SUV or the man who rode the motorcycle away is asked to call investigators at 1-888-310-1122. | ||

<sigh> Yeah, it's true. The area where this happened is very close to an Indian reservation and the site of a very heated land dispute between the natives and locals. It is believed that the suv in question was being driven by natives who happened upon the accident scene and decided to help themselves to the bike. None of these allegations have been proven but if this is the case, the bike will never be found intact. It has most likely been stripped for parts. Hard to believe that anyone could be so callous and do that to a fellow human being. <sigh> |
