What would you do if you saw someone's bike being stolen?

Wouldn't he/she be a bit confused as to why you're riding a bike?

Though maybe you just mean if you were walking. =) But, why would you have a Dlock on you?

I wouldnt allow them the time to think

Pretend its your bike to the thief, then dlock them to the eye

and bang.

i was running a little sweepstake with myself on how long it would be before "d-lock" would be posted in this thread. it ended up being a lot later than i imagined.

also - sweepstakes with yourself are crap.

I've often seen a few scrubbers eying up bikes around east. I'll just stand around and keep looking at the bike and then get some lame comment like,"yeah, that's a nice bike that, yeah cycle myself". Whatever you haggard old ball bag smack head

he doesn't stop at ferel kids. he dishes it out the germans as well

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL WAS THAT!?!?! How have I managed to miss this absurd football/rugby/cage fighting/tackle so far in my life???

Outside fortnum and masons on Saturday I saw someone looking shifty around a bike, he then picked up the lock so idecded to act, crossed the street looking at him and as I got near he walked off, don't think I would have done any more but felt compelled to do something.

It's another one of those things you don't know what you'd do untill you're faced with it, I know I wouldn't risk myself for my own bike let alone anyone elses but thought making obvious someone was taking notice would scare the little toerag off.

Id run up to them and give them a good broken nose:)
noone steals bikes down here anyway
and i would know them if they did

Tis the best football/rugby tackle ever. I feckin love that clip.
From back in the days when he was the Henley-on-Thames MP. I used to see him out jogging in surf shorts and a skull covered bandana on, strange site.

Uninterestingly I once got sent off in a ruby match, for making the opposite mistake and slide tackling the oppositions winger.

lol

i would shoot the thief :)

always seems the most effective way of stopping them, then if that fails.... just give em an ol' wack with a D-lock!

Give 'em a good old fashioned pirate bass....cleat in ass as I roll by, avoiding retaliation.

Seriously. I'd only get physically involved if I knew the owner. Might make a lot of noise if it was random..make a big show of calling the police.

I know for a fact that I would walk up behind them, yell, then get smacked in the jaw, and they will run off.

Jahmal Mason-Blair, 17, from Dalston, suffered a stab wound to his neck during a row over a bicycle in May. He died at the scene.

so maybe just ring the police and get the fuck away.

^^

Kids & Teens are the worst.
Though there are some adult cunts out there too.

"oi! don't steal bikes bro!"

judge the situation, if its a 6 foot 5, 300 pounder with bolt cutters, you should fuck off and call the rozz

If its Milhouse with a junior hack saw, give him a beat down and rob his shit

lol. True though

if i saw the bike being stolen, i would say someone within good distance- even making my presence known and that i was watching him. that would put any common thief off!

if i knew the person the bike belonged to then, then walk up to the thief and call the police in front of them and just before the police hang up- i would drop the line, "oh you will be here in 2minutes- great!". and just keep watching what his doing- use phone take picture also.

theifs dont like attention for some reason so when you start showing some love they back off.

Has no one mentioned taking a photos?

Erm, the post above yours?

lol

oh okay, no one says photos anymore, just 'take phone picture'.

Yeah, photos would be good. Maybe get ready to scarper, frame the shot, shout to get their attention, take the pic as they look at you, then high-tail it to safety?

If you've got fuck all else to do (i'm a student so this applies to me) take a video of it, follow them, call the police and give them the address.

Or else just do bugger all.

I'd shout out "Oi cunt stealing the bike" in hope for them to flea (most likely)

OR

Whip out my camera and record a video.

Call police.
Show them evidence.

Hopefully get put on the news. Theif FAIL.

Then 100 of us can keep a look out for the mug and do a hit and run with a nice slap to the face and say "Oi, don't steal bikes bro. Don't steal bikes".

you want a photo of the thief not the phone....

"What would you do if you saw someone's bike being stolen?"

Nothing.

I have seen two or three bikes being stolen (I didn't know the owners) - I called the police, they were not interested, didn't turn up, bike got stolen.

I have seen my own bike being stolen, I nearly collided with a police man as I hurtled around a corner chasing the bastard who was on my bike - I explained the situation to the police man I nearly knocked over - the bike and thief were still in sight, the police man was not interested.

No point getting the police involved.

D- Lock headlock, works every time!
