Thieves steal motorbike in broad daylight.
Discussion
Will an increasingly 'lawless' society be the breeding ground for vigilantism?
This is appalling! But of course they know there's a) little chance of police attendance and b) even less chance of getting caught (although apparently some arrests have been made in connection with this incident).

Think I might have been tempted to use the cafes fire extinguisher with a blast into his helmet. Mind you, probably looking at an assault charge from the little s
t if you tried it! Hope the 2 in custody prove to be the right ones or give 'em up! TonyRPH said:

Car crime in London is effectively decriminalised now This is appalling! But of course they know there's a) little chance of police attendance and b) even less chance of getting caught (although apparently some arrests have been made in connection with this incident).

I drive an old non-sporty appearing car, no way I'd have anything nice now.
No point in vigilantism, around here even just disturbing the crims gets your head bashed in with an iron bar:

He won't do that again.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x16p0gl
Shame you can't do it here.
Phone theft, e bike theft, motor bike theft etc.. all increasingly brazen and unpunished these days even if they somehow get caught/noticed.
Catalytic converters theft is a bit old skool in comparison. Why do that when you can push someone off an e bike and ride off with 4k?
It makes you not want to have anything nice to avoid unnecessary attention!

The person filming should be ashamed, do something, dont sit there filming, at least go out and shout at them.
“You there! Stop that at once!’’Okay, sorry.
“I should think so, now go home and think about what you have done”
Sorry again Sir, I will now give up my life of crime.

A security challenged them and their response was to threaten him with a brick.I wouldn't expect anybody else to tackle them under those circumstances.
There's four of them and they have a weapon. Unless you are with a group of mates, leave well alone. One lone person trying to intervene is going to come off worse (unless that person is some sort of Ninja who can inflict enough harm on one or two to make them all scarper).

Had it been my own stuff they were nicking I might have felt a bit more inclined to go down and try and frighten them off, but there wasn't much time, and 1 vs 5 isn't great odds - it was the time of evening when I could have been returning home late and that would have it much more awkward given it was right outside my door.
What can anyone do really?
If the police are under resourced/don’t care what can the public do? These lowlife keep on doing it cos they know they can. There was already that guy who got jail time after chasing the guys who tried to steal his motorbike and had an an accident with them.
I fear we’ll get to a point where someone has enough of this and does some extremely bad stuff.

I agree but it just won’t ever happen unfortunately.If the police are under resourced/don’t care what can the public do? These lowlife keep on doing it cos they know they can.

And like you said, if you do and something happens it would be you inside, not the criminal.

The only effective thing your average member of the public could do would be to run the scrotes over.
Not worth it for some other sod's Chinese 125.
