Brick Lane Bikes (BLB) Bike Shop

I'm struggling with this one. A new shop opens and within a month they're "caught stealing" a bike (presumably to resell in the shop) within 1/2 a mile of where they're planning to sell it. If the cops were there why weren't they arrested? Could you think of a worse way to launch your business?

No offence but the story doesn't exactly stack up. I'm not saying it didn't happen...

Who knows what they wanted to do with the bike. Like you say they would have been stupid to try and sell it in the shop.

They didn't get arrested because they spotted the police car before it spotted them.

It would've been understandable if they stopped my friend and said - look we think this bike is stolen - but they didn't. they said nothing.

who knows what they were thinking....
