Removing money from the wallet is a good idea, but he will need to sue for the rest - I doubt the thief had enough to cover his insurance excess.

He could have stuck around to let the police know that he tried to help, but when he got there the crim had already crashed and impaled himself on 5 stakes.

Fact still remains mate (which ever way you look at it) the bike owner also stoll something....which makes him what? he can also now be charged with assult....

Pay for repairs???....insurance!!!!
And dont go down the 'what if he had no insurance' bullshit either.

The original thief got what he deserved IMO. Bike owner got some compensation. Can't be soft on these assholes.

Personally, i would have called the prick an ambulance, waited for the plod to arrive and made sure they threw the book at him once he recovered.

maybe not as satisfying as a swift punch in the face, but revenge none the less.

Who CARES!!!!
If more thieves were treated like this, less bastards would nick our bikes
Youv OBVIOUSLY never had ya bike stolen and crashed by some scumsucker asswipe that cant be fucked earning their living.....

I work REALLY hard for my toys and I too would have bashed and 'fined' the wanker who took my bike, even if he was bleeding out
I bet the owner took great pleasure twisting that stake as he pulled it out too!

I wonder if the impaled bike thief will ever steal another bike. My cynical side thinks he'll do it again but my even more cynical side thinks he'll have lost the use of his arm and will live of welfare for the rest of his life living off the taxpayers dollars

Forget punching him on the nose.

Pull the stake out and shove it up his arse!

Real World Check - our justice system may be easy to rubbish but it's all there is between what we have and Mad Max - it would (on a good day at least) judge both the thiefs' and the owners actions independently so both would stand to get jail time

those that would have twisted the stake might possibly get life

nice community we've got here

interesting that the paper's headline was "Crash victim robbed while impaled on stake"
and even the day later when most of the details were known "Man recovers after being robbed while impaled on a stake"

Seems the paper at least understands something of what the law is about

I know what you are saying and if I was the bike owner I would have just phoned the police and ambulance and then waited for them to arrive.

The criminal that got staked though - I am having a lot of trouble mustering up an iota of sympathy for the fucktard.

It happened in Oz, so judging our 'community' is pointless, as is the crack about 'our' justice system (which sux ass) and caters to criminals far more so than the innocent tax payers they prey on

Stuff the legalities, I like the owners style.
And I really dont give a shit for a criminals rights, they have too many as it is, what about the victims?

The Kiwi biking community are, as far as I've seen, an excellent and caring bunch of people, who, in real situations will give unstintingly of their time, care and effort where it's needed, without a second thought..
Nothing wrong with them..I'm proud to be a biker.

Cant argue with the first bit, I totally agree.
Bike owner may also get some community service along with his 'compensation'.

I have noticed the same thing - just check on the 'members offering help' thread. I am truly proud to be a member of this community!

And that's whats fucked up with our PC culture. That man deserves a DB... not to be treated like it was his fault.

Yip the Kiwi biker community is to a man and woman (and in between?) a giving and honest bunch of people.
I stop on the Wainui hill for every rider I see who is in distress, same on motorway, highway, suburban street... and they do for me too

It dont mean we have to tolerate scumbags stealing our rides

Ask yaself, if YOU caught the guy who stole AND crashed ya bike, tell me you'd be calm, tell me you'd call the cops...I doubt you would feel as charitable as you would for a fellow rider who like yourself has sweated blood to earn their sweet ride....
