| Comment | Mine was pinched from the bike lock up in Central Station - covered by dozens of cameras and literally right next to the British Transport Police station. Little shit walked in with a pair of bolt cutters and lobbed off both my chains during rush hour and just strolled out.
The BTP circulated the thief's face around other police stations in Glasgow and turns out the guy was known to the authorities for you'd guessed it, stealing bikes. Police Scotland paid him a visit and arrested him but he'd already managed to sell my bike on. Little shit was 15 so he had no means of reimbursing me for my loss. In the end, I applied to a government scheme for victims of theft and ending up getting £50 back for a bike that was worth £350. It's so easy to get away with and even when they are caught, there's no real punishment |
