I dunno, I try not to buy into rumors about how much bike crime police ignore, always someone with a story about police knowing all the bike thieves, I like to think they do what they can it's just hard to get strong evidence and even sometimes when they do(like the time you had) victims aren't as on board as you would think they should be.

No, just played mind games, I was telling him I’m a bike mechanic and I wanted to see him putting the brakes back up properly.
Kinda felt bad about it as I had to explain to the police why the bike looked ok when they arrived!
I enjoyed looking at him trying to fix the bike while he was clearly shaking from fear.
Sure thing tomorrow he’ll be back at it, but just hope one day he’ll find less polite people ready to give him hell (and few broken bones).
The owner at the end decided not to press charges as she was scared he might come back and do something to her as revenge.
He was obviously known by the police and he got told not to be seen around locked bicycles (???).
Sad times.
