+1...but I do have some sympathy with the Rozzas. Read an article over the winter that said there were over 30 specialist bike theft squads in the UK in the mid 2000's. Apparently not a single one today. All been disbanded or merged with car theft squads in the name of "efficiency" and "a better value service to the tax payer". As car crime is a bigger number on a spreadsheet it gets all of the attention and the biking community gets the shitty end of the stick again (much like with vehicle tax).
Sorry to hear about your bike getting lifted Oxforshirerider. Hopefully the twat(s) die a slow and very painful death...perhaps at the hands of a vengeful biker or two
Why don't the police just set a trap and catch these scumbags. I'll wager that when they catch whoever is nicking these bikes, they could uncover some bike theft gang.
Ring the Police, tell them there's someone nicking your bike...
They say no-one available...
Ring them back a few minutes later, 'It's OK, I've shot him'
Minutes later five armed response units show up, cath thief, they say 'We thought you'd shot him'
Looking at all the policemen standing around,'You said you had no-one available'

Me likes it too..... I was only thinking the other day, if someone was trying to steal my bike from my house in Spain, I would get a better response by saying there is a fast RHIB just pulled up on the beach 300 yards away, and they are unloading bales of something onto the beach, the helicopter would be there in minuets. All I need to do then is shine my laser pen up into the night sky, and the heli would be over the house. And I would get a free breakfast in prison. and probably a good kicking ( it is Spain )
