^ good work that man for scaring them off.
As an aside, I live in SW London and my bike insurance looks set to go up from £900 a month £2000+. I asked Bennetts why and they cited the huge rise in bike theft in London. I may have to sell the bike until I can move out of London later in the year. b

£900/month is madness as it is, you definitely don't mean per year? As an aside, I live in SW London and my bike insurance looks set to go up from £900 a month £2000+.
Prior to buying a new bike in the near future I've been getting a few quotes, they've risen 20-25% in the last month or two alone.

Just had an attempted theft at home.
2 lads came in on 2 bikes, scoped out the car park. Then returned on one bike and attempted to steal a white Vespa. They didn't bargain on a very angry man shouting at them and they soon bolted. Or as the Policeman said when viewing the footage 'he shat himself there'

This is entirely self-inflicted by the British public, on themselves:- Detailed investigations of police whenever something goes wrong; this can be career ending or put the officer under years of uncertainty
- Excessive focus on protecting criminals from injury, but not so much focus on protecting the public from injury from criminals
If the public complained about this, it would not have not got to this stage.
Why should the police put themselves at risk of being prosecuted themselves by apprehending crooks on scooters?
