Surely once you've arranged to meet the oik in question, you phone the police and tell them, if they still refuse to come, you explain that you and your mates are going to beat seven shades of shit out of them. That there is a forum of angry cyclists willing to get involved in some vigilante justice.
the police then have no option than to up the level of their interest from stolen bicycle to pre-meditated violent incident/ potential ABH
I'm sure a few of these incidents and their response to most people will be a lot more interested. Perhaps we should even set up a vigilante bike thief response thread, just to give the police even more reason to turn up and give a shit?
