Got it back!
The news of the grand robbery had spread by word of mouth. All sorts of people who roam large areas by day, viz. milkmen, newspaper boys and of course Dileep, (the fellow who looks after the mini garden in our building) were requested to be on the lookout for my bike. As luck would have it, on his way back home on Sunday noon, he came across a dust-laden red bike left by the roadside on the road leading to the Western Bypass, in Warje. He recognised it, came back to tell me and the rest, as they say, is history.
I don't think there is any probability of him reading this blog, but still, thanks a million Dilip! (And btw, he's the one who's gonna get a treat of some sort :P)

It seems that our parking lot in the building has become a prime target for all sorts of thieves, dacoits, burglars what have you may. After some petrol, my car audio a few months ago, now its the turn of my motorcycle tonight!. Yes, MY MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN STOLEN!!!!!! in broad dusklight between 19:15-19:30 hrs,quite literally from under my nose. As has been the modus operandi of similar thefts in this erstwhile safe city in recent months, people whose bikes have been stolen have found them left lying somewhere, probably after the tank dries up. As enjoyable as they were, meanderings around dark alleys around the neighbourhood and obscure zopad-pattis at around 11 in the night, looking for my precious darling haven't borne fruit.
Anyway, I have already lodged a police complaint, but I would be really grateful if anybody reading this who is in in Pune can be on the lookout for a red coloured Hero Honda Splendor bearing the license plate MH-12 LA 820. If anybody does spot it, please let me know asap on 25445503 (or if at all possible in a gazillion years, on 9422302790).
If the robber has noticed that the bike hasn't been away for a week as I am on leave and chanced upon it, then this might just be the costliest exam I have given. May that #*&# never rest in peace. Amen.
