Why don't the bikes inside the store have locks on?

How did they intend to start the bikes? Also can they not find one of them from the scooter reg number which can be read?

Push into the van we didn't see and sort that out later?

Other bikes involved almost certainly nicked.

Why would you wear a hi-vis on a nicked bike? Looked a lot like his own.

Hope they get attempted murder, grand larceny and benefit fraud thrown at them.

WOW!!

I'm absolutely astonished!

The lockstops are off the bikes instore, I believe... so if some numpty sits on one, then if it falls over, there will be less damage?
And pretty stupid if there wasn't a van hiding round the corner, not that they would get far pushing them anyway, so I see it being a pretty pointless exercise on the thieves account.

Not well thought after in broad daylight, brave youngsters without a brain.

Either way.......totally shameful!
