UK Bike Thefts

[froudy]

I'm sat here shaking with anger

During the night 7-8 Feb the Bristolbiketaker scrotes broke int a garage in the centre of Bristol. They wheeled out an old Ariel another old Brit bike and a 1951 Triumph Thunderbird. They couldn't start the first two and dumped them in the road. They did however manage to get the Thunderbird going and rode off on it. Ever since they have been taunting the owner with photo's of his bike on their Instagram account..I picked up the very first photo posted by them and contacted the owner..Damon.
They had been spotted on numerous occasions riding around on it without helmets, but no one was able to catch them.
Yesterday they threatened to burn the bike out if the owner didn't cough up £1000 to save it. The bike was plastered all over Facebook by people hoping to get the word spread and the bike back to Damon. It was all going quite well until today, when, despite being asked nicely NOT TO..The Bristol Post published an article about the bike and the fact that the thieve's had demanded a ransome to get it back...The thieves, within about 30 mins of the article being published decided that the bike was too "Hot" to keep in their possession and they torched it on wasteland.

To say that Damon is in pieces is an understatement..He's distraught.
An associate of mine has just gone with the owner to retrieve what is left of it..Not much I guess as they removed the fuel cap and turned the bike upside down before igniting it...I'm F*CKING RAGING here

These are not thieves, they are evil, they steal to taunt the owners 

They really do need to experience some pain.

Just seen it on Facebook. Absolutely sickening. I don't have words.

I like that one Froudy! 
My 'favourite torture' is to feed the fingers (followed by the rest of them) slowly through an old hand wound mincer, nice & slow! Yes, I'd turn the handle too.

[Sweaty]

No words for these sickening scum, hope they all die a slow painful death 

[Sweaty]

Surely, these days, they could be tracked down by their IP address etc, if they are constantly posting ?
Well that's if the cops really wanted to do something of course.

[Kiwifruit]

That is really sad. What bastards.......

Payback...........from a patched gang member I once worked with.
Detain culprit, insert plastic pipe into back passage, stuff barbed wire into plastic pipe........remove plastic pipe.
There is a lot to be said for vigilante justice.

I can see how the idea of cutting off a hand if you're caught stealing came about, but we live in modern times & have progressed from that sort of thing. So if we've progressed, how about cutting off a head instead?  That's progression!

Little shits, even if they are caught all they will get is a stern telling off, a 6 month ban and an hour or two community service

I'm not optimistic, but I would hope that the old bill will now take this more seriously now that a) there's a load more publicity making them look useless and b) the crime is a bit more serious. Demanding money with menaces is a level up from bike theft so in theory there should be a bit more action.

But like I said, I'm not optimistic.

Karma has a funny way of catching up with human shite like these.

One day some of these individuals will get their own place. How ironic it would be if every time they left their accommodation (usually to sign on) the place got trashed. All their personal possessions got wrecked. Perhaps they might like to contemplate their sad non entity life.
