Couple of years back when I worked for Hackney Council I was up a tree with a collegue in the old Haggerston Estate(before it got flattened for more shite hipster flats), 2 bike police were berating a couple of the local yoots who were sat on the steps having a quiet smoke watching us work. The police got off their bikes and had them on the kickstand right next to the door to the block. While they were chatting 2 more yoots came out of the door and quietly and calmly got on the bikes and rode off. Took the popo at least 10 seconds to notcie their bikes had gone from less than 5ft away from where they were stood. Cue 2 lycra clad cops running in completely the wrong direction looking rather sheepish.
They returned 5 mins later empty handed and had a go at us for not shouting out when it happened. Shrugged shoulders and stiffled giggles. Got a smoke off the yoots after the law trudged away.
