LOL - was just about to post that one too - INSANE DOWNHILL BAIT BIKE IN THE HOOD (NO BRAKES!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLBvXnGo8fw
My friend had his bike stolen from WalMart, along with my bike. They stole the bike rack. We had 3 locks to lock our bike to the lock.
I saw a video made in Mexico (you wouldn’t DARE do it here in the USA) of a bait bike with a thin steel cable tether about 20 feet or so.
The would be thieves just get a get start and WHOOM! Over the handlebars.
Hilarious!
As I said you would get sued here. In Mexico the courts would just shrug and say “that is what you get for being a pendejo.”
Tell the socialists to remember that all property is theft.
In Houston even carjackings weren’t being prosecuted, hard to make an argument for going after bike thieves when that’s the case.
In the 1960s leftists tried to promote the concept white bicycles to be used by the whole community, borrow it and someone else will make use of it while you’re busy, grab another white bike when you leave
Call him a hoarder and the State will take all of those bikes even if he has receipts.
That’s one way to keep democrats out of public office.
Some city police officers in Lafayette, Louisiana were (and still may be) involved in confiscating bicycles and then selling them, pocketing the cash themselves. Truly private enterprise.
It was that way in Long Beach, Cal as well. Even had a little square license plate.
In Berlin bikes probably have an entry level price of 400 Euros and span up to 1000 Euros; Walmart sells a bike for half of these prices but in Euroland Bike shops flourish every few blocks providing family employment for thousands of people, hence the higher prices. In the US cheap imports keep prices under $250 for the most part and those who own more expensive bikes treat them like high value items such as cell phones or laptops; in the EU bikes are a tradition item. For the guy in Berlin just have to ask with a wink, have you seen any of the Dutch bikes stolen in WWII around anywhere:)
One commenter noted, almost certainly correctly, that most ‘urban bicyclists’ voted to essentially legalize theft of less than $950 in value (in California), thereby ending what little deterrent still had existed.
I had to get a bicycle tag in Mountlake Terrace Washington back in the mid-sixties. It didn’t do any good, it was just another way to fleece parents or youngsters who used bicycles as a means of transportation around the small village where I grew up.
Leave a bike in the yard, wired up and plugged in, on wet ground. End of problem. Except for removing the carrion in the morning.
(Yeah, I know...it’s illegal, and bike stealing doesn’t warrant the death penalty...)
All stolen bikes. IIRC, the house was spotted by a police helicopter.
The German bicycle troops rode these into battle. Pow! Pow! Pow!
Picture is from this afternoon. :)
