You're all too kind, I'll never find a hat to fit again. I'm sure you'd have done the same thing in the situation. It was deeply satisfying to confront him though and just very calmly say 'no' without threatening violence but just staring him down. I kind of hope he came back once I'd gone and the security guards nabbed him, that really would be the icing on the cake. Where do these 'people' get off though? I mean it was hardly an expensive bike and for the effort and risk involved he'd be much better off trying to make his money in online poker or something similar if he doesn't want to work in 'the system' ffs.
I just don't understand the mind-set, he had the whole 'wanna-be bad boi' thing going on with his clothes, attitude and swagger. It was a bit pathetic to be honest. Ho hum.
