Just watched those (^^^^^^) films - its some London TV show about bikes getting nicked - it's interesting to see the coppers actually doing something about it, and interesting to hear someone put it in an 'economic' perspective - bike theft is costing Londonerrs 20 something million quid a year! Message from that lot is... expensive bike locks aren't fantastic, but nowhere near as shit as cheap ones, but I think we've all worked that out for ourselves. And if you buy off a random geezer down the market, your making it worse - again bit obvious really, but the kid in the 2nd video couldn't work that out. Worth a watch though just for seeing bike thieves getting jumped on by coppers. I always knew the flouro crew were up to no good...
