Croydon never fails to amaze me - Bike Thieves

Dude in white = Mega Badass. If they hadn't managed to take off before he unleashed his skills with the metal bar, I think this might have been the best CCTV footage ever recorded.

Dude in the shorts, though... kinda fail. Trip over your own feet, mate grabs you... initiate "hold me back!" fakery to save face. Yep, indeed.

Guy in white is ultimate.

Wonder if the bikes they're currently on are stolen, as the high-vis license plate is clearly readable.

Couldn't stop laughing when he pushed the one in the high vis over for a 2nd time.

The music ruins it. As when the the guy in white runs in, 'Guile's Theme' from Street Fighter should be played. He is Ultimate.

Based on the footage, you really think they're that smart?

Smart? If you look at the outside clip, look at the pavillion on the scooter. The main rider looks clearly to be a girl.

However, it cannot be ruled out either.

What were they planning on doing with the stolen bikes exactly? I doubt the store is stupid enough to leave the keys in them. So they couldn't drive them away.

If they wanted to get professional about it, get a large van + ramp, reverse up to the store, immobilize the shop staff, roll about 6 bikes on, off you go. Could be done in about 2 - 3 mins.

The bikes at the front of the shop are easy pickings as well, that cable they have around them would last about 10 seconds vs petrol grinder.

They hold the bike between the two Scooters and ride off, been done before, though these idiots I doubt they would make it a mile before trashing the bike.

If you see a Chav on a bike, why should you try not to run him over?

It might be your bike
