| Dec 9, 2017 at 10:30 | comment | added | Pacman | I used the non-emergency number. I'm guessing I spoke with a dispatcher, since she said she would "send a deputy", but I don't know for sure. | |
| Dec 9, 2017 at 9:38 | comment | added | David Richerby | How exactly did you call the sheriff? This clearly wasn't an emergency so, if you used the emergency number, then the dispatcher's response was basically a polite version of "Somebody might need me to save their life right now but, instead, I'm talking to you about a bike." | |

| Dec 9, 2017 at 3:08 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | That's a fairly standard reaction from a non-rider, no matter what the problem was. If it were a car, a baby, a suitcase, or a leaking drum there'd be more action. You see how dispatcher equated the bike with "lost skateboard" or "dumped CRT TV". There's not really any good answer. Perhaps ask the dispatcher next time what they'd recommend as an appropriate action. | |
