How many of you have got digital cameras? Right, so why don't we arrange for one of us to go down Brick Lane every Sunday and take pictures of the scumbags selling stolen bikes. Then we can put them up here or on a website as a wall of shame of bike thieves. There is not much chance of anyone innocent getting unfairly accused because it is VERY clear who the guys are selling stolen bikes. (Hint: they're not the ones with the stalls). And anything that makes the sale of stolen bikes more difficult has to be a good thing. I'm sure the Evening Standard would pick up on the story and it might just shame the police into doing something, particularly when the thieves are so easily identifiable.
You might say doing this will just move the sale onto Gumtree, but I don't think that means it isn't worth doing. We can deal with that in turn.
