Bike thieves are low life

The thing is our so called leader of the states and the federal goverment dont care about us common people,we are here to pay our taxes and listen to (not all) but most of these educated idiots. Because it dose not happen in there suburbs, "but" if it did you would see all of the police force there and if they weren't they would demand it. So money talks, bullshit walk and being educated dose not mean that you know everything and have commonsense, far from it, so good luck guys.and by the way I had a Honda SL350 four road trail bike and it was a collectors item and it was stolen in 2000 and have not seen it since

if you dont want your bike to be nicked again, use an Almax 4 chain and with a Squire lock, and lock it to a Hardy Ground Anchor. These are IMPOSSIBLE to bolt crop, hammer, or freeze attack.

I know exactly where you're coming from. Twice I have had my bike stolen from home even though I had paid out for the insurance recommended security lock and chain and still it went.

I thought long and hard about this and researched on the internet for the right product. Nothing actually fitted the bill properly.

Eventually I designed my own and the guy who made it for me now makes them on request for people I recommend. If you telephone Tom on 01480 216077 and tell him you want a Martin Bike post, he will know what you want. It's not his normal job and he makes them to order.

The posts are a 3 feett long T section of 1/2 inch steel with a hole for a chain and 4 holes for bolting to the wall. You bury 18" of it into the ground and cement it in and then rag bolt the upper bit to the wall. Then when you chain your love to it it's a significant deterrent.

I've had a number of attacks since but all have failed thanks to my post.

The first sentence of this gripe is very appropriate. The death penalty is far better a deterrent for harming somebody than a bloody ASBO.

Yeah I know how you feel. Yesterday I parked my bike right outside of a borders, U-Locked to a bike lock post. I came out and four my U-Lock cut and my bike gone. I can't afford another one and I called the cops but that wont do much. I seriously wish these low life looser gets hit by cars and die a slow and horrid death. If there was a push to restate capital punishment for such theft I will be first in line to sign and support!

Well done Steve J. If the police had caught them, and there's a big if, they would probably have got off with a warning or a slap on the wrist. It would also have been a total waste of time and public money.

It's a sad reflection on the state of things that usually law abiding citizens have to take the law into their own hands, thus transgressing the laws, but it seems the only way.

Steve J. - You have my utmost respect. A heart warming story indeed :o)

I can only sympathise, but I know what it's like to lose a vehicle... Luckily, the 19 year old low life cretin that tried to steal one of my bikes chose the wrong day...
I was visiting my elderly mother and disabled sister and had left my Honda CB750F2 (220kg) parked on the drive, with just the steering lock on, as it is normally safe and quite!

Wrong!!! It appears that any one of the low life sad sh***s can attack at any time.

Their attitude is "if it moves" I'll take it! And have some fun... One of the neighbours saw the lad sit on it and break the steering lock and that set the data tool alarm off!

He was caught by three other bikers, all whom I know and they dealt with him, in the old way ;-)
Let's just say he crawled home very slowly and bleeding.... I don't think he'll try that again.

I was lucky! others are not... There can only be one way of dealing with scum like these and that is too kick the sh** out of them, including their family ;-) If they do not pay-up!

I've been saving all summer for a motorbike, tomorrow I pay off the final installment for it, and yesterday it was stolen from right outside my front door. I'm gutted, insurance company aren't going to cover me either, because stupidly I had forgotten to put the lock on. These little f***ers haven't just stolen my bike, they've stolen my summer. I hope they crash the bike and die.

I saved up for about 3 years and bought myself a Mk3 golf GTI, a car that I had always wanted. Installed lots of security devices. A group of teens, notorius for being skilled thieves, stole it one night and drove it a huge distance of 900 meters before torching it.

Luckily, I had installed a cctv camera and caught the little turds that did it, much to the delight of myself and the policemen that turned up to inform me of the situation.

When the police arrested the lads, 2 of the fathers....beer guzzling, (supposedly) disabled, benefit scrounging lowlifes knocked on my door and instantly assulted me, despite their claims that their sons were innocent, they knew where I lived and it hadn't been public knowledge about my car.

Result, 2 of the lads cautioned and smashed my front window during the night and the other lad recieved 50hrs com service.

Since that event 4 months ago, I have replaced 16 tyres all subject to slashings, window wipers ripped off and front windscreen smashed 3 times.

Police were powerless to do anything because the lads had resulted to wearing balaclavas and gloves, I found out through word of a friend that the fathers of the lads were bragging about it down the pub and that they were encouraging their sons to carry on.

I went round one night and did the same thing to their cars, nobody saw me, but guess where the police turned up the next day. Though nothing was done to me by the police, that knew full well what I had done.

One of the lads died 2 weeks ago after putting a stolen subaru into a lorry, even though I was in the same shop as one of the fathers last week, I laughed my head off.

Kawasaki Z250 Stolen from North Avenue Bedworth, Warwickshire January 2007, it's red, very old, very noisy and not worth a lot but it was my only form of transport. Anyone know anything?

The thing is today's society should take a lot of blame since we should be able to park in our own street outside our own houses and our bikes should be safe FULL STOP! When I was a kid my parents never had to lock up our house let alone our vehicles! Thieves should have their bloody hands chopped off!

Hey guys cut the crap. I have motorcross bikes and live in a nice place.I dont trust anyone. Put it in a garage and weld it to the floor and they will still rob you blind. BRING BACK HANGING!!!!

If you could get the thief to court. You could argue this point.

My bike gets me around to the grocery, hardware, toystores ETC., just like a horse does.
My bike is my horse, therefore this is a horse thief, "Shoot him"!!!

Well, my mate spent 6 years saving to buy a Suzuki bandit to have it stolen. Two guys turned up in a transit and lifted it into the back depite the bike having 3 different locks fitted. These rats make me retch! No arrest, no trial, just 1 in the head with a nail gun!

Rent a lock up where nobody can steal your bike from. If you leave something on the street that can be pysically lifted by two people it is going to get stolen.

Bike thieves should be shot on site or hung and drawn. You take every precaution and they still manage to steal your motorcycle. BTW, I had a Suzuki GSX 600F too and it was stolen by some low life thief. My sympathies to you!

Actually, thieves of any sort are low life not just bike thieves. I know what it's like to have your bike stolen though. My Suzuki was nicked a few years ago and the insurance claim money didn't even touch the value of the bike. It never does

Here, here.

We should make a national event of it - store them for a year let them sweat it out and maybe even tell them we're considering releasing them, then hang all on one day through the country.

Car thievies would be the next lot as well.

I agree with you that bike thieves are low-life. In fact I honestly think that all thieves are!
The only way to stop that happening is to look at ourselves and scrutinise more carefully our own principles. Most people would willingly buy an i-pod for half price, or a cheap motorbike for that matter! It is that behaviour that fuels the business of professional theft. You will never stop the stealing for personal gain or for shear pleasure, but we can make a difference to stealing for profit or to order.
If everybody refuses to buy from the 'back of a lorry' or 'man in the pub' then these people will have nobody to sell to and no reason to steal. We create our own problems!
