    My bike was stolen, and I live in a small enough town that the cops actually did go through the footage to find the thief.

    He called back 15 minutes later for more details and mentioned he was 15 minutes into the footage.

      It sounds dumb, but if the footage was on tape and not easily seekable, then I can see that happening.

        It should still at least have a fast-forward option. You go at the highest speed possible until the bike disappears. Then you rewind at a slower speed until it shows up again. Then you can play the tape from there.
