Moped-enabled crime

If you're near a building site, they often have emergency shower & eyewash stations.

Its getting a bit ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POJtaO2xB_o

on this thread.

So do some commercial kitchens.

2017:

That's not a knife, this is my face melting onto the pavement.

I was walking along Church Street in Stoke Newington last year, boy jumped his bike up on the pavement about 20ft in front of me and grabbed a phone out a guys hand that was at a bus stop.

he then cycled towards me and my pal. I smashed him off his bike and then put the bike on top of him to stop him getting up. Then I had a sudden realisation that he could have pals about or something on him so just grabbed the phone and told him to fuck off.

The kid was only about 13 but it scared the shit out of me, the stuff he was saying he would do to me and my pal really shocked me.

Yeah thats what I meant a pedal spanner or a big massive fuckin fagh lock to bash the cunts

This was a guy I know in my local - they stopped the traffic with their bikes, put an angle-grinder to his chain, broke the steering lock and started to scoot up the road on the stolen bike being pushed by his mate.
Poor bloke heard the stopped traffic causing a commotion in the street outside his office then ran out to shove the kid off his brand new Ducati trashing one side of it in order to get him off.

Working in Yeisley, west London ‘burbs today. Witnessed two lads on a ped in baseball caps without masks weaving through school run traffic, hoping curbs at full pelt throw a coke can hard into the rear windscreen of a parked police car. The two plods barely looked up from their phones, let alone do any policing.
To be fair, stuff like that has happened round there since the dawn of creation so possibly unrelated to the current crime wave.
Perfect example of the zero fucks given attitude tho. :/

Love what this lorry driver did here:

And a nice bit of vigilante action:

Don’t approve of randoms putting the boot in after they catch him but unmasking the wanker and getting that mug up for all to see should be considered essential. Put billboards up with their face on all over the shop.

This. All. Day. Long.

(after a fair trial, obvs)

Sooner or later they’ll try it on with someone who turns out to be bigger and nastier than they are. If a few of the scrotes end up with acid dumped over their crotches it may start to make them understand the risks better. Again, we don’t need more violence on the street but if they don’t fear something then it’ll just keep spiralling.

I don’t condone violence but there’s several lads I work with every day who wouldn’t think twice about getting stuck in, regardless of what they were up against.

I would agree with no violence the sad thing is thats all that these people understand and sometimes you've gotta fire with fire.

Back in the 90s I used to quite regularly use acid and ride a moped.

Simpler times.

We’re about due another summer of love aren’t we? Historically that’s what follows these periods of greed, growing inequality and disempowerment of normal people.

This is going to sound sarcy, but it’s not meant to be: Grime could save us all.

What if I look identical to the thief?
I wouldn’t want to risk it.
I guess they could narrow down the chances of mistakes if you make that face looks more unique fist.
Maybe a cheeky tattoo on the forehead?
Surgically replace his nose with one of his thumbs?

could do with some of this bike baiting

I hope they got harsh sentences, that tattoo is horrible.

rep @Hefty - those were the days, eh?

Yeah... I don't think that's how kids out robbing rationalise things.

Yeah no fuck that video, the guys who set it up and filmed it coerced homeless guys and addicts into it.

Yeah the comments are despairing as well. It's astonishing how easily people wish harm on others without blinking.

There was a video posted on here years ago where a known bike thief was setup and paintballed by a dozen people from all angles. Much better than fucking over homeless folk for the likes.

Anyway, this is a pretty serious thread and not a place for vigilante-lols..

Interesting article on the subject on Bbc today:
