And bods moan that scrotes nick stuff…… why not, if you must insist on making it easy for them.
 
I either put it in my wally box or take it with me. A mate left his locked to his bike with a cable & on return found it still there but with the lining smeared with dog shit.
 
thread hi-jack

but they are the scourge of modern society

supermarkets/cafes inside petrol stations

sick and tired of arseholes who just pull up at the pump then fuck off for their provisions whether it be breakfast in the morning with their obligatory shit coffee or, lunchtime or, in the evening for their dinner

and you sit there for a fucking age waiting for the fuckers to come out with three fucking bags of shopping and a fucking shit coffee

the concept needs banning I refuse to use the one where I live because it’s a fucking Asda so travel five miles to station that isn’t a supermarket (yet)

anyway as you were rant over

Just what kind of cnut does that; there's some fuckin peevish wankers.
 
Was on a group tour coming back from Morocco in 2007.
Lunch stop in rural Spain and one of the guys left his helmet sitting on his bike. Helmet gone when we came out.
Fortunately we were able to locate an automotive shop and buy him a cheap get you home helmet.

I always now ride with a small cable lock so I can tie the helmet to the bike, put it in the pannier (if empty) or I take the helmet with me.
 
It’s always bemused me, helmets aren’t exactly cheap are they… and you’re royally screwed if it gets nicked. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy to report that no one has nicked my helmet with the gloves inside, or the bike with the keys in the ignition so far in rural Portugal. :D Same for the car, which freaks out my Bruv when he is here.

I guess there are shit holes and then there are shit holes. (y)
