He then got a phone call on page 3 from the police to say it was recovered after a accident.

Thank you my sweet

We will have to wait and see if he is the one who stole it or not.

I think it was reported as being a stolen bike. prick got what he deserved if it was stolen.

If its not true that it was a stolen bike, then it is sad news

[SixPackBack]

Got what he deserved?...are we sure about that?....stealing a bike is worth the death penalty-I think not!

Its worth an arm, rather literally , in some countries.

Without thieves the world would be a better place.

Agree no body deserves to die as a result of an accident

[YellowDog]

Yup, this hapenned just up the road from me. Anyone dying will result in a sad loss for someone. I don't think the guy's Mum deserved this for not bringing her child up well enough!

Perhaps we should have a health warning sticker made for our bikes "Stealing this bike may result in serious injury or even death"

Not good. RIP thief (if that's who it is).

Good. One less wanker around.

[Daffyd]

I certainly won't be shedding any tears for him.

[jrandom]

Good.

According to yesterday's Dom Post, he had kids.

I'm sure that, in time, they'll agree with you that the fact that their dad once nicked a motorcycle means that they're much better off without him.

I guess he took the maxim of "ride it like you stole it" a little too literally. May the sorry bastard rest in peace.

I wonder, dipshit, whether the realisation that you're a ghastly unlovable pustule of a man ever keeps you awake at night...

Like I could give a fuck?

Good - that there is one less bike thief, although sadly he was probably replaced by two more even better ones... what with increasing population and all that jazz.

Just a shame it was death that finally stopped him from stealing any more bikes - so many other options.

I can sit here and say - who are we to be judge and jury and make comment on this man? ...but I also sit here thinking that if caught someone halfway through stealing my bike, I dread to think of the outcome. All jokes aside regarding ways of retaliation, what would you actually do in that situation? I can see myself getting into a punch up or surprising the poor person with a heavy blunt object before ringing for the police. On the other hand, if alcohol was involved I can see things getting very nasty... with visions of medieval 'removal of hand' techniques being at the forefront.
