Ps. can someone explain to me why people laughed when I asked if I should report my stolen bike to the police when I lived there?
You really don't know ? I think there's possibly more than 1 million bikes stolen every year in the Netherlands, it sadly has become a way of life. The police has no time to look into this, since they are pretty much occupied handing out parking and speeding tickets all day long. Once your bike is gone, it's gone forgood. You can either buy a new one, or steal one yourself.
