audacity of shoplifters
Discussion
Just been to the bike shop to pick up a couple of bits. Whilst chaining the bike up outside I overheard a woman and a bloke talking about a child's trike in the shop window. While I'm in there the overweight bloke comes in the shop and stands looking at a very expensive bike for a bit, blocks the aisle unnecessarily so I have to squeeze past.
A few minutes later in the high street I see the child on the trike being propelled by the woman! She looked at me, blatantly flustered so I stopped, stood and stared at her before she exclaimed exaggeratedly "no you can't have the trike, we've got to take it back to the shop now"!
I followed them till they bumped into the bloke, they had a brief animated discussion, both looked at me and the woman pretty much ran back to the shop with the trike.
Shop owner was thankful but hadn't even noticed it was gone, apparently the day before someone had done the same with a £600 bike!

weird story, doesn't seem like you actually saw them thieve it from the shop.
erm no that's the point - they used a fat bloke to shield them from view and basically just walked straight out a shop with a bike. I saw them before they went into the shop, they didn't have a brand new trike with them, and yet a few minutes later they did have a brand new trike, were half way down the high street moving away quite rapidly and the price ticket for it was pulled off and on the floor in the shop. Fairly conclusive proof they'd nicked it, no?
It was also the fact that she ran BACK into the shop and dropping it off as though "no harm done" after being collared that really prompted the title though!

While I was working in South Africa in a sports store (still a uni student), a guy tried nicking a bike from the shop during the busy Christmas period. He got as far as the end of the carpark before we caught him. We dragged him back, took him to the stockroom and handcuffed him to the shelving.
After calling the police, a few us took it in turns to batter 7 hells out of him with a baseball bat and a few pairs of sturdy, steel-toe workboots.
When the police got there (a few hours later) they did the same - except they used police batons.
Things are dealt with VERY differently in Africa.
Happy days.

Don't you think he got off with that a bit lightly? Africa's becoming a nation of soft, liberal do-gooders these days.After calling the police, a few us took it in turns to batter 7 hells out of him with a baseball bat and a few pairs of sturdy, steel-toe workboots.

king should be!That's not audacious - you want to come to the local Co-op in our village.
Last friday night and I'm queuing up to buy some milk and two lads - no more than 13 come in wearing the full Chav uniform of burberry cap, tracksuit bottoms tucked into socks and Reebok classics.
"i'm going to get some beer" says underfed, badly nourished scrote #1 to spotty, illiterate scrote #2.
The shopkeeper and I exchange a knowing glace which says "you have got more chance of juggling soot than getting served in here"
Cue Scrote #1 walking straight past the tills and out the door with a crate of Carling on his shoulder before giving it legs straight up the road.
Unbelievable
