Stolen bikes

Another tale of bicycle crime from the hotspot which is where the Well Street meets Mare Street

• photographer walking along the road with a bicycle minus its front wheel, having parked his bicycle nearby
  
• a man is spotted (scavenger-type with baseball cap, quite short, with Asian appearance) carrying a lone quick-release bicycle wheel
  
• man challenged by the photographer
  
• scavenger-man boards the 106 bus heading north up Mare Street to make his get-away
  
• both of us caught in indecision decline to pursue

musing: could have challenged the scavenger-man better by grabbing the wheel, making more of a public scene on the bus, and threatening a Citizen's Arrest (!!).. next time..
