Yes, I know it's been said already, but it's worth saying again.

Lorax (he's my brother) leaves his bike disc-locked on the side of the road - in video cover of the Bulls police station about 10m away.
Drunk scum try to load it into their car after midnight, but it's too heavy, they drop it on the road, abandon the attempt, drive off.
Them and their car are caught on police video.
A completely different person (a farmer) pulls up with a trailer, loads the bike in and drives off with it.
Lorax discovers his bike has been stolen and reports it.
The police call him later, saying a farmer has called them to say he'd picked up the bike by mistake - the farmer was supposed to pick up his son's completely different bike, parked in about the same area!

Confused? Hilarious! Stolen twice in one night! That's one incredibly unlucky bike.

Yes this is a repost, but I am so very amused by the story.

well i would say lucky mate .. at least the farmer realised it was the wrong bike & called the cops .. so it was prob more safer with farmer than being exposed to the scum who had tried to steal it earlier ..

it would have been trashed if it was left there anyhow

Too true, yep. There's some good folks out there, you run across them every so often eh. Nice farmer fella.

Crikey! That's a turn up for the books! Jeepers, sounds like a right old ding dong they're having down there...

Sorta like a Monty Python sketch! No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

All's well that ends well no?

How uncomfortable would that have been - "er Dad, this isn't my bike..."

Great story though, AAAA+++++ would recommend!
