Bike theft problem? the Canadians are coming: google To Catch a Bike Thief

[ismailzd]

Why didn't they blur out the face of that thief at the end and did it for the other dudes, total violation.

[magnapillow]

also, one more thing, don't judge the expensive locks as being bad, tools will always overcome locks because locks have a limited number of specifications: they can only be so big, science can only produce materials of a certain strength, and no matter how strong, they have to be relatively affordable...whereas tools have no limits of expansion. e.g the wire cutters can be of an unlimited length and therefore in theory produce however many lbs of force that is required

I had my Federal bmx stolen from school bike sheds!! 500 pounds+ worth of my pride and joy and my life. i was devastated!

[AnthonyB465]

Kinda harsh how they left a bike on purpose to get stolen.

[arushandapushand]

@AnthonyB465

well they've got to do something to catch bike thieves.

[dhavebur]

Black guy stole my bike.

[RedBlondAlex]

Same problem here in Los Angeles, spend your hard earned money on a bike and a few "good" locks and then some filthy thief steals your bike in broad daylight.

[cycletank]

There is no way to stop your bike being stolen, as shown even the best locks can be cut like butter or someone can use an angle grinder and nobody gives a shit (be that apathy or not wanting to risk injury, which is fair enough).

All you can do is make your bike less attractive than the others parked next to it. That means a good lock or two and making sure it's secured properly. Don't have a really nice bike that locked outside for hours, just get a cheap bike.

Also, get fully insured.

04:20 Boris hits the nail on the head.

10:02 ...this just could be done by a woman :D

[fvaldesp]

The Kryptonite New York Lock is never opened. The chain around it is. I use a KNY Faggeddabouditt U lock without a chain and I'd have loved to see if it good enough.

[josh0com]

Fail at 11.00

[oliCRF]

six months in prison is so over the top!!!!!

[oliCRF]

10:02 FAIL!!!!

[pocoyokun]

so basically there is no lock that is strong enough to stop these thief. The possible solutions are : move away from london or bring your bike indoors where you work.

[drunkenp0t]

i hate to see my bike get stolen put too much money into it invest in a u lock get two different kind

[gregapage]

I laughed my ass off when the first thief came on at 9:25. What a surprise, a nigger!!!

[lagginswag]

hope the 6 months was worth it, ya fookin knob.

[mcdumass]

ye but the problem is that those ppl and the ppl who are filming it are using the cheapest lock..if they really loved there bike as much as i do or courriers do they would go out and buy a kryptonite lock i would rather spend $130 (depending your country) on a kryptonite new york forgetaboutit lock than having my bike stolen and it also depends on how the people lock it i always lock my back frame and back wheel together

[IMnineonetwo]

i would have rugby tackled him, act first ask questions later (y)

[arearekarekarek]

kill that fuckin niger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cbfhtu68]

I like the Scarlet Letter treatment for non-violent crimes.

The criminal is caught, the court finds them guilty on the basis of direct irrefutable evidence and they are found guilty.

Rather than locking them up in a facility where they can more quickly learn criminal techniques tattoo their forehead with a simple iconic emblem, that can easily be identified by the public, what this person can not be trusted NOT to do: thieving, adultery, rape, child beating, spousal abuse, pedophile.

[BartJBols]

@cbfhtu68 they used to do that in the Roman empire, id like to think we as a species moved beyond that

the only thing that is going to cause is people being shunned, lose jobs and start depending on theft to keep up there living standard

[AJxn3]

10:32 ...



TouchDown!!!

[cronchodos]

After viewing the video, I was left in horror thinking how easy is to get robbed on daylight and in all sort of places. I was wondering some things: 1) They should put behind bars the folks that purchase the bikes on some random markets, it´s so obvious they are stolen, the law is not protecting citizens 2) Locks are mere a distraction from the point, they will break easily. 3) foldable bikes could provide a solution to the theft of bikes 4) the program did not mention bikes stolen at gun point

[applesurgeon]

What a joke. A pointless sentence for that prolific offender. I've just had my second bike stolen which was locked with two locks both sold secure gold (since learned that the rating means absolutely nothing) worth £100 in total.

Scary how quickly that hacksaw got through the D Lock!

[marhanen]

everyone who observes a crime happening and does nothing should be prosecuted for being an accomplice of the crime that was committed

[volure1]

My advice am dead serious use 5-7 locks make it hard as possible Really. I love cycling alot. I hate the people stealing your hard earn bike.

[jozzo6]

Someone cut his fucking hand off

[villel80]

Thanks for these. Very interesting.

[kauaikit]

Geeee....only 6 months for a serial bike thief, I'm thinking a finger for every guilty bike stolen. Then on the sixth bike a HAND!
