[danf1234]

Unhappy ending, but you can't help thinking that it is some sort of devine retribution.

bike thief, not a biker

sad about the other folk tho

[Supervox]

I'd just like to point out that the article states that the motorcyle he was riding was stolen - NOT that he was a bike thief.

Whilst the chances are he did steal it - the possibility also exists that he bought the bike 'in good faith' from the scumbag who did steal it.

Just my 2p worth

[danf1234]

I wasn't making any assumptions, but to be honest even if he did buy it, there is a very real change he knew it was stolen. i.e cash only, no V5, locks shagged etc etc.

I was trying to highlight we have a problem in York, with Bikes getting stolen at this moment in time. There seems to be loads going missing.

Another friend of mine had her bike taken from the back of Yates where she works, 2 days ago. That's the 4th I know about. It was caught on CCTV as well, and looks like 16 year old kids.

Get a few lads together and put some bait out :)

Brilliant idea.

[Owenski]

Brilliant idea.

apart from whose willing to sacrifice thier bike as the bait, consdiering the first thing they'll do when you less than politely ask them why they're stealing your bike is drop it.
If anyone has a rolling chasse to offer then its brilliant count me in :)

Good point, would have to be quick off the mark when they pull up with the van. Or risk letting them get it in the van, open can of whup ass then head to the track in your new trackday vehicle. :p

That, or booby trap a decoy bike and have the remote control close by...

[andreis]

And by decoy, i don't mean someone else's bike, but one that's worth nothing and dressed up to look all nice and shiny

Wouldnt be a bad plan.
Nick the van they're nicking your bike with.

They can hardly go to the police with
"well officer we were in the process of stealing this motorbike when some dirty theiving gits came an nicked our van, now they've got the stollen bike and our van"

That is assuming the vans not a stollen van in the first place.

Nobody deserves this, no matter what they have done.

If it was my bike I'd like to blow their head apart with a 12 bore and think I'd done the world a favour. Shame it's illegal, it shouldn't be.

It seems completely fair and just to me. Nobody deserves to have their hard won transport taken away from them by some scumbag with no morals. imagine, you're a poor bloke, you need your old kwak to get to work because the buses are a joke. All of a sudden some inconsiderate tw*t has launched it through a fence for you and all of a sudden you've lost your job because it's got blood and brains all over it. You lose your house, family out on the street, and what's more the police want £150 to get your bike back!!

Don't feel so sorry for the thieving pikey c**t with more right hand than talent now!

Something bangy in the fuel tank... would really ruin your day getting 20 liters of vaporised burning petrol to the head in an enclosed space :D

Then again, not sure we can afford 20 liters of petrol to burn some scrotes here nowadays!

We could mix it with red diesel, keeps the cost down and will smoke a bit.

if it was my bike and i got news that the thief had crashed and killed him self, i would grin followed by a laugh and would feel over the moon the rest of the day.(rest of the week actually)

scum the world is a better place without them.


when my last bike was stolen brand new, on 3 year finance i had to pay a short fall of 1500 pounds and no longer had a bike...... I hope that every bike thief crashes and has a painfull death as long as they dont hurt anyone in the process.

[yorkie_chris]

I would actually be worried about what parts I'd be able to salvage from the bike.

This was the lad.

[Ed]

I profoundly disagree.

This lad was somebody's son.

[yorkie_chris]

I profoundly disagree.

This lad was somebody's son.

And that bike was somebodies freedom and plausibly what puts bread on their table.

Absolutely zero sympathy for anyone except the other poor sods who had to see and clean up the mess.

(providing he nicked it of course, I'd be interested to see any previous convictions of that lad, and no that doesn't include if he "bought it in good faith" for a wrap of speed and 8 cans of tennants super)

[danf1234]

100% agree with you there Chris. I have had various things stolen from me, including being burgled, and I wish all the thieving pieces of **** that do that to others a slow painful death.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I used to think that chopping someones hands for stealing was a brutal thing to do but ... not so anymore lately.

I had my car stolen, smashed to pieces and abandoned. On top of that I had to pay for recovery and disposal because some sihty bsatadrs wanted to have a bit of fun.

As for the parents of such people, I consider them responsible for his education in the first place.

Maybe death is not worth the price of a laptop or a bike, or a car. But certainly not worthy of any sympathy. Good to see nature balancing things out for a change.

This was the lad.

He certainly look like a weapons grade scrote.

[ethariel]

If anyone steals from me and i find out who they are, then they will reap my revenge 100fold upon them. I work for what I have, anyone who steals, in my eyes, is no longer a mamber of civilised society and as such does not benefit from civilised rules and rights.
