Attempted Robbery @ Ducati Croydon

Been a soppy git, I like to think what happened was he turned up on his scooter thinking he'd take a look at some big bikes. Maybe arrange a test ride as he just turned 21 and that sticky starter on his scooter won't last for ever now he needs to use a hammer to cold start it.
So with his ear phones, music on loud in and his spirits high he arrives at the store to see someone struggling to get a bike out and slowly makes his wa over before deciding to help. As soon as he does all hell breaks loose, stuff doesn't add up and to make it worse this bloke in the white shirt looks pretty ****ed.
Decides to flee as something here is a-miss. On doing so crazy white shirt man pushes him off his scooter an his handy starter hammer falls near by, picking it he rushes the white shrt man before realising other people have weapons too. Goes back to his scooter and gets pushed again.
Now proper confused he struggles to start his scooter and when he eventually does he nearly gets run over by a bar wielding nut job.

Well that's one option, the other is he's a scrote

What a romantic story!

Give them the chair!!!

Hey - thats < 5 mins walk from my house that is!!!

The Shop deserves it tho.

The sales guy caught me looking at the RC8 once and now everytime I go past he tries to tempt me into a test ride - bang out of order that

Hope the oxygen thieves get caught

I'm glad you both approve!
Sad truth is, even if that guy is the orchestrator of it all any brief will be able to get that story down as reasonable and he'll not get touched.

copied and pasted from your post no doubt! have to charge him for the work lol

If you have a hammer in your hand I think in all honest belief your going to hit me I can quite lawfully smack you in the face aslong as the attack doesnt last longer than the threat

They looked like useless brainless kids to me. Possibly set up for a challenge by more 'senior' useless criminals.

Top marks to the staff. Seen loads of posts elsewhere from people saying they would do this that and the other to the wannabe crim's. Most people bottle it when they see crime in action.

Hope Ducati show meaningful appreciation to the staff.

Took a lot of balls to react the way the staff did, I wouldn't dare take on nutters from Croydon...but then I wouldn't dare work there either Could have turned horribly nasty, lucky the staff were a lot bigger....see the person in the pink lid, almost as subtle as the high-vis

I'm just disappointed there wasn't one attempt of a stocking over the helmet, complete amateurs. Pah.

Usually though, and I do have first hand experience, of small time thieves nicking masses of booze on a supermarket sweep(I used to be part of the security team in Tesco many moons ago) theres always one weak enough to disarm or disable ... and that many blokes sit on him, til the coppers come.


Well.....they used to in Tesco, it was like a WWF tag team challenge between the student lads on a Saturday, how many lads can squash a tea leaf before he escaped!!!
