Following a stolen bike - what would you do?

[SARGE]

First stoplight .. Grab his helmet by the base and pull hard .. Then lay the boot in as he tries to get up..

Hard to run away when your helmet is twisted sideways and your legs are broken

[JovoMan]

I'd have run the F****r over, but then I have a small anger problem......

Ok general consensus is ram him off the road in some way. Right... lets say the guy wasnt the theif then, maybe a KB that has just bought unknowingly a stolen bike. You've just paralised an innocent man!!! Just a scenario, maybe not much chance of that happening...say just as much chance as FOLLOWING YOUR BIKE THAT GOT STOLEN FROM YOU LAST WEEK (Not aimed at you Death Inc by the way haha)

I'm with Death on this one. I would have just run the cunt over and worried about the flake-out later.

Of course I would have done it in such a way that later equiry would have shown me hoving up alongside, asking...very politely...why the chappie g'mun was riding my bike, then nuked the fuck into the nearest hard thing.

It would then be quite clear to the Serious Crash Invesitgators that said cunt had panicked, hit me and....well, sad and all as it may be, the poor wee dear ended up as road-kill.

Happens all the time; bikers with issues. They end up as road kill.

The issue this cunt had was: he'd just been approached by me...the real owner of the bike! Must have freaked him out and then some, as you'll appreciate.

Shit! But I hate thieves of any sort; those who steal things, time, emotions, my sense of humour, you name them.

Thieves are the biggest bunch of shits on earth.....mainly because there's so many of them and also because they're often so cunning or backed up with incomprehensible power.

They steal your things, they steal your life.

Open thieves and closed thieves, like politicians, bureacrats, wives, lovers, associates, and even sometimes friends. They take from you and give nothing back. They act as one thing while really being predators.

And they do so all of one accord because these vile aresholes know that at the time they take, you are vulnerable to the taking.

Yup. I would have run the cunt over and then stomped his face, and then asked if he'd like medical attention.

I despise theives.

Hell, i'd put someone in hospital if it meant getting my bike back...

[skidMark]

As I caught up with him, I was kinda not thinking straight just shit what am i gonna do. I followed without causing suspiscion, I reached for the mobile straight away, it was flat (had been working 1 hour before). I reached for the camera I happen to have with me next - the memory card was full (had been used up on the relatives 1 hour before where I had just come from)

Next I reached for the gun, no bullets left SHIT (I had used them up on two policeman 1 hour before) .......No wait that was a JOKE!

All I could do was continue following him, trouble is cars were getting in my way and at one point turning right onto SH17 through the town where it narrows from 2 lanes to 1 I cut this lady up something cronic, I was just focused on staying with the theif....unfortunately my driving suffered for it.
After losing him, I looked around the local area, down side streets, asked bystanders etc etc no luck. When I got back home later I called police a crime was being committed (well it was!) hoping they would finish eating there donuts and search perhaps. I've heard nothing though. Later tonight I went back to have another look around the area, I saw two cop cars parked on the road just where I had lost the theif. They were attending to a guy fallen off his pushbike!!

Some you win some you dont I suppose

I wouldve smashed him off it at first opportunity...

Nothing more to say really

lol
well put dpex.
Albany town centre has too many witnesses I'm afraid. Also I couldnt have picked a worse vehicle to chase with (Option B) a 1995 7 seater people carrier.

If it went up the Avenue did you check out Paremoremo?

Afew small houses up there and i know a couple of shady characters out there too(not just the prisioners lol) Just another idea.

[JovoMan]

thats it guys keep the replies coming - just remember;
REWARD $1500
BIKE IS ZX9R ALL YELLOW - Reg No 71 UID,

A mate has since told me he thought he spotted a similar bike on the shore on Thursday night but with 54 in the number plate? Thats not mine but it could be hes swapping plates....anyway 2 sightings on the shore I reckon. However bike stolen near Onehunger.

No one has so far mentioned the first thing they would have grabed if he stoped at the lights is the keys (he aint going anywhere then is he!)
Then park the bike up nice and safe, perhaps a little polish, and then continue to smash his head in.

One for the future!

[nallac]

fuck the keys ,i'm with everyone else i woulda rammed him off the road

[DIN PELENDA]

I'd have run the F****r over, but then I have a small anger problem......

[kiwi cowboy]

jees skiddy your slipping with your coments.
This is more like you. "I [skiddy] woulda sneeked up on the mo fo at the next lights and pulled a 3 meter stoppie [from 60kph] and pulled the keys out as i went past stopping with my back wheel on said mo fo's head.".
good luck finding it

[DEATH_INC.]

Na, If he stopped a flying clothesline to take him down, then ya worry aboot keys etc....if he wasn't the thief he'd understand...

[DEATH_INC.]

What you talkin about?

[Mom]

Got a cellphone? Call the coppers (hope they are home) and follow bike until they turn up - stay connected if you can...

His battery was flat!

I wonder if the cops would do you for smashing your own bike up?

Meh no, is my answer to that, insurance company may well be a different kettle of fish though

I reached for the camera I happen to have with me next - the memory card was full (had been used up on the relatives 1 hour before where I had just come from)

Joking aside you seem to be having a HUGE run of bad luck mate

All I could do was continue following him, trouble is cars were getting in my way....unfortunately my driving suffered for it.

Hope no bikers got in your way mate!

When I got back home later I called police a crime was being committed (well it was!) hoping they would finish eating there donuts and search perhaps. I've heard nothing though.

First opportunity knock the rider off, then run him over and over again while yelling loudly for someone to call the cops is my advice.
Geez Wayne you really have had a run of bad luck. Bike stolen, then you see it being ridden around while you have a flat battery on your phone, a digital camera that is full and some dumb car drivers stoping you from knocking the thief off your bike!

Take it you have no insurance?

EDIT: Oh and after you reported it, the police were apparently busy helping someone that had been knocked off their bike. Hmmm...

[roadracingoldfart]

I had a situation like yours years ago but it was my best mates bike.
I followed it and wondered what to do for about 8 kms and then it happened without me really planning it .
He stopped at a red light , i jumped from the car and ran over to him and just pushed him and the bike over. It was about then that i realise just how fuckin big this dude was so i crapped myself with what was bound to happen.
As it happened he got his leg stuck under the bike and he couldnt move out from the pinned position he was in . Cool , i just stood on the bike to add to the weight and listened to him yelling for help while he got burned a bit from the exhaust. Just try to get out from under an old GSX1100 ET with some prick like me on top of it lol.
A nice young off duty coppa came along and inquired to what i was doing , i briefly told him the story and the cop just kicked the guy in the guts and asked him to shut up for a few mins and stop moaning lol .

It was fucking funny as hell and i went on to become good friends with the coppa lol .hes sort of human aye.
The dude got a term in the house for his worries and i got to take my mates bike back to him with only minor damage and a blue denim stain on the pipe.

I dont know what i would do if it was my bike but i would stalk that area you lost it in for sure and make sure you have a good battery in the cell when you do it, hes obviously brazen enough to keep riding it anyhow so that may be his mistake. Go get ya bike back man, good luck
