Angle Grinder, bike, broad daylight.
Discussion
Two blokes attempt to steal a bike in broad daylight in a busy area of Central london. Not by loading it onto a back of the lorry or something else discrete, nope this is noisy angle grinder time.
Is this the new normal now?

And suprisingly, why were there no martial arts experts around to step in

Are the police even allowed to pursue motorbikes/scooters these days due to health and safety or is that an urban myth?
Sad to say the only solution to the problem is to ride something old they have no interest in stealing.
I think the policy varies by constabulary, some do some don't. I know some are now permitting use of stinger against bikes, ultimately however it's all to easy for crims on bikes to go down alleyways etc. that Police can't follow and disappear into estates.Sad to say the only solution to the problem is to ride something old they have no interest in stealing.
The Mrs once had someone 'accidentally' lock their piece of s
t bike to hers rather than just around the cycle rack. Known scam.
We went back later with a saw to cut the lock and cut her decent bike free.
Sawing away at a bike lock in broad daylight, middle of the main street in York and the only people to approach were some chavs saying 'ere mate, careful, some coppers are coming'

What's the scam? Make you leave your bike? It's happened twice to me here in NL and I often wondered what the angle was.t bike to hers rather than just around the cycle rack. Known scam.We went back later with a saw to cut the lock and cut her decent bike free.

Assuming some f
kwit did that and what sort of lock they used you could just pick their bike up and start rotating it against the lock. Pops most of them easily. Then you just throw their bike in the nearest canal (assuming you're next to one and I usually am),Sadly, a common occurance these days and heavily discussed over in Bike Banter.
This one below caused quite a bit of outrage:

Bunch of little tts taking a grinder to a bike outside of a busy M&S; passing motorcyclist tries to raise attention to it by reving his engine and trying to scare them off, ends up with acid being thrown at him and knocked off his bike.
Absolutely no fear these little aholes.

No wonder the scrotes have no fear of being nicked.
"Frank Fisher aged 18 of Upper Halliford Road, Shepperton was sentenced yesterday for failing to stop for police, attempted burglary, attempted theft of motor vehicle, dangerous driving, driving with no licence, no insurance, aggravated vehicle taking, going equipped to steal and handling stolen goods"
...and here's what he got as punishment
He was given a 20 week prison sentence suspended for 12 months, disqualified from driving until extended test passed, £115 victim surcharge, £85 costs to the CPS and a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.
The only pain he endures is having to pay £200 at the rate of ninepence a week out of his dole.
£200 is often less than a speeding fine for normally law-abiding folk
That'll teach 'im!
