UK Bike Thefts

[Kiwifruit]

Fair point. It makes you wonder how sad and miserable their lives are. That to seek pleasure they have to cause distress to others. Not quite how a fulfilling and happy life should be.

Seven arrests made this week...Don't know full details yet as the Police keep it quiet until it's been to court.
I think we're finally getting somewhere though!

If it was the ones who torched the Triumph, then I think they should think themselves lucky the police got to them first.

Good news though assuming they are the scum who have been doing this

@gsxbarmy

Some if not all of them were involved in the torching of the Triumph. And YES it was very lucky the Police got to them first!!
I can't go into full details, but will just say that they received plenty of death threats from some VERY ANGRY bikers from all over the country.

Thanks Steve. Lets hope the courts take them off the streets for a very long time

Visor Down carried this report
The arrests have been made under Operation Buell, which reached a critical point on Tuesday when a group, going by the name of 'biketakerrr' on Instagram, shared a video of the stolen classic being set on fire.
The three arrests made since Wednesday concern two 14-year-olds and one 17-year-old.
Inspector Rob Cheeseman, leading the operation, commented: 'These arrests and subsequent charges follow months of both overt and covert police work.
'We know the motorbike community of Bristol have been hit by recent thefts and I hope these results send a strong message that we will relentlessly target anyone involved in such criminality.'

FOUR more arrests have been made as part of Operation Buell, Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into motorcycle theft in Bristol today 

[froudy]

Still lots of bikes being stolen though..Three at least yesterday and a couple of attempted thefts as well.
I'm pissed off with it now!!

[Sweaty]

Good to see something happening, but they will probably get a slap on the wrist & be back out doing it smarter than last time.
Lock the little bastards up or cut of their hands.😡

@Sweaty

Feet first into a log chipper

[Sweaty]

What's wrong with me, I was being to nice.
That better Froudy, but pause it for a while at the knees for maximum pain.

[KiwiCol]

Do it slowly with a crank handle, make it last a bit.

I feel the yoof is misunderstood.
They need art lessons and an increase in benefits to be able to express emotions in a more fullfilling way.

All this talk of medieval punishments could break their spirit and make them feel under valued and unloved !


Before anyone offers to come round one dark night with a chain saw.....

I was JOKING !
I was in social worker mode.

Tie their thieving hands to the grab rail of a 1400 and tell them if they can keep up they can go free.
