The Dumbest Bicycle Thieves In The World
Cool guy with video camera ^ | EMail

Posted on 11/09/2015 2:57:42 PM PST by The All Knowing All Seeing Oz

A group of Inter City Gentlemen are taught not to steal bicycles, especially ones with a 200 tether.

The purpose of the 200 feet tether?

Give them time to "get up to speed" before that sudden stop and "awakening"

A Facebook video? Really? Couldn’t post the source on YouTube? Some of us don’t do social media.

I try not to hate anyone, but I can’t help but to hate thieves.

For effect, do this in a white subdivision and video the passersby that leave the bike alone.

Left wing thug prosecutors would charge the owner.

No kidding. "Attractive nuisance" and "intent to harm", or some such....

You don’t need to have a FB account to see the video

I enjoyed the video as much as anyone, but I'd be pretty sure that this arrangement constitutes a "trap".

It obviously has the potential for causing someone a serious injury like a broken neck or death.

It's not a liability I would want to face and there could even be serious legal consequences.

The only people likely to be injured or killed in this video are the same people who are usually responsible for injuring and killing people.

Can’t quite put my finger on it. Hmmm. Just what is the common thread?

Older kids would drive their car up over our lawn to knock down our snowman. Then we built another snowman around a fireplug....it got very noisy that night. Wish I’d have had a video back in those days.

That reminds me of the theme song from Mike Tyson's Punch Out game. And the song kinda went like this...

Funny, but in this liberism world, it is open to all kinds of lawsuits.

Lawyers could easily claim entrapment or some such.

If you want to catch a “fish”, you have to use the right bait.

Years ago some newspaper/tabloid parked a car with the hood up in a neighborhood and photographed how people reacted.

In the white neighborhood, nothing - except when it started to rain, one guy came over and closed the hood.

In the black neighborhood, within minutes some ferals were removing the battery and God knows what else.

At the time it was a bit of a shocker as even most blacks who saw the test in print commented that they thought it was wrong.
