Why are people such theiving scum?

[Jonny69]

My back light came off its mount on the way home. A passenger in a car told me they'd seen it happen just a few yards back as they went past me. Great I thought, be able to go back and get it...

Er no, in the two minutes it took me to get back along my route it was gone. Someone had already picked it up and had it away. ****ing theiving Croydon scum. I ****ing hate having to go through that place.

And to cap it off someone tried to have my saddle during the day as well

Just needed to vent.

That place really is the Rectum of London... I hate having to go there. I've seen it kick off on the tram so many times it's not funny.

Once I had my whole bike stolen except the front wheel, people just love stealing push bikes.

Finders keepers

 

[Ice Rich]

Sorry for the loss,

Just so I got the picture right, you were giving some a 'backie' on your bike? Motorbike or bicycle?

 

[TriedandTested]

Hardly the worst case of thievery I've ever read about. Secure it on better next time. Not nice, but hardly crime of the century. Still, very annoying.

 

[DBT85]

And Croydon really isn't that bad.

 

[Cosimo]

I hear that these things happen in threes.

 

[sorn21]

You sure someone knicked it, maybe you just couldn't find it?

What use is a rear bike light without mount?!

Yeah thanks for the handy tip.

The point is, whoever picked it up would probably have seen it happen.

It's like a flashing red beacon, you couldn't miss it if it was on. Schoolkids around as well, probably one of those little sods took it. Start off how they end up.

 

[TriedandTested]

Yeah thanks for the handy tip.

Don't be a sarcastic chump just because you messed up.

 

[Zatoichi.uK]

I had my bike stolen 2 months ago even though it was locked up outside a train station with CCTV pointing right at it. I was tempted to buy another one just to sit and watch from the shadows for as long as it took. It would almost be worth it.... but not quite.

The fall could have broken it? Or atleast turned it off it you were going at any velocity.

I'm just trying to restore faith in mankind

 

[PermaBanned]

Yeah, i rather doubt if it was stolen, that's a strange conclusion to draw.

 

[Phate]

Should have used THE CLAW on them.

Nah, I deliberately got a tonk one that would take a knock. You've got to dig a fingernail into the top of it to turn it on and off. Worst that would have happened to it would have clicked it to one of the other flash settings.

Don't try to restore any faith into Croydon. I have made the same mistake but I'm reminded on a daily basis that it's just scumsville
