Boy, 13, robbed by bike thieves in Manchester (England) - BBC
Full video of the robbery at link.
Rather brazen and the thieves' faces are covered by their hoodies. It sounds like Close-Circuit TV is about everywhere in England that has any sizeable population.

That's pretty low, I hope that they get caught.

in South Africa, my son who was 12 at the time, got his bike 'taken' by an adult thug who pulled a knife on him and threatened to stab him..... in broad daylight with lots of pedestrians on a high street
everyone just walked past and looked the other way .... sad

Would have been hard for me not to push the thief into traffic. Would hate to spoil a motorists day. Thieves suck.

Because the lock is jammed.
So that helped brighten my day.

I really wish my aikido class was close enough to ride to...or that I had a ride to it. I wonder if the local arnis class would consider working up a modified version for u-lock and pump instead of matched straight sticks.
