‘Bike thieves? I’d chop their fingers off’
It’s time to introduce proper punishment for bike thieves
Bike theft is such a massive issue right now. You see so many videos online, but what is being done about it? I think we need to chop their fingers off. We are too soft on bike thieves and it can’t carry on, something needs to be done about it.
I saw a tweet from the police saying people should doublelock their bike. How wrong is that? What gives someone the right to take a bike in the first place? We shouldn’t we have to make our bikes like Fort Knox to protect them from low-lifes. Something drastic has to happen because you can’t really make a bike any harder to nick. Disc locks and whatever might slow them down but if they want it they will get it. I saw a video where someone was trying to steal a bike and two blokes were being filmed out of the window and it still didn’t scare them off. How are these people walking the streets? We need to squash it now. If these people are found guilty and there is no doubt about their guilt we need to sort it out by being hard on them. There is right and wrong, and stealing is wrong. You can’t work your balls off, get your licence, pay an astronomical amount for insurance and then just have someone taking the piss out of you by nicking your bike. We need to make an example out of them, make them pick litter up for the next three months, put them on the roads. Make them work! Is it going to help the situation? I don’t know, but if there’s a bit less litter down my street I’ll be happy. I don’t understand what they get out of it, is it fun? I tell you what, bikes should be made so that when you lock them if anyone touches them without the proper key they give them an electric shock, that’d soon stop the buggers.
‘HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE STILL ON THE STREETS?’
