Well, decided to make this a public rant. As you can probably tell, it's about theives.
As I left for work this morning, I didn't notice my motorbike in the car park. At 7 o'clock in the morning I'm not the most alert, so couldn't say for sure. I get home tonite I find that some pondscum has taken my bike. Admittedly, it was only locked with a disc lock, as it it a block of flats and there is no-where secure to bolt it to.
Bit of background is required here. I think I posted a while back about what I presume were kids knocking it over. Now this bike has been off the road for 4 years now after I had an accident and bent it a little bit. I've kept hold of it as I have been toying with doin git up or selling it on for spares or repair. I'd replaced some bits, painted others where it got scratched, but otherwise has been sat there for 4 years.
Now this thing is unroadworthy at the moment. It has no front brakes, and it probably won't start. (I actually have the front calipers in my cupboard)
What gives these bastards the right to come to where I live and steal? Just cos they are so goddam lazy to get a job to pay for the things.
And after being on the phone to the police, if the bike is found I have to pay for the bloody thing to be recovered. They didn't have a figure for a motorbike, but for a car it's £100. I'm the victim and I have to pay for the pleasure.
Bastards.
maybe the police are going round nicking stuff so people have to pay to get it back...
