I know who he is, he occasionally rocks up at polo, I have seen the bike in question, he has a questionable business, but myself and a few others have, over the past six months spent a lot of time talking to him and trying to show him the right way to do things. He has a lot of respect for us, and has stopped some of our bikes from being nicked in the past. He wants, one day to run a legit business, but he's hard pressed to get it started as he has a kid and is only 21 himself. Though I don't approve of the fact that he deals in stolen bikes, I would much rather see him change than just have him banged up in a system that fails the victim and the perpetrator.
grow some compassion.
