Last night 3 x people on 2 x mopeds attempted to steel a motorbike on CPR (near junction with Silvester) using a battery powered grinder to cut through multiple locks.


The police arrived just as the last of the locks were defeated so the bike was saved.


Multiple locks and a quick police response is the only hope of saving your motorbike.

Unfortunately not, they just chased them off.


Apparently the police (unless specifically trained) are not allowed to chase people on mopeds/motorbikes regardless of whether they?re wearing a helmet or not.


Unsurprising that this particular crime is so prevelant when there?s very little risk to the offender.

I?m not sure that method would have worked in this case as this was not a moped this was an 800cc motorbike so I?ve no idea how they?d have got away with it. I assume they?d have broken the steering lock and wheeled it away?

I know that this particular bike had a deep buried tracker fitted so it would have been pretty straight forward for the owner to talk the police onto its location after it was taken I?d have thought?


The owner said that it?s covered by CCTV which the police are now in possession of, not sure it?ll help but worth a go.

Kford is very naughty. I also used the word "scum" in the Hither Green thread and was severely admonished as only unpleasant people used that word about the criminal classes. We must realise that they are really only vulnerable gentle human beings who inadvertently chose a valid alternative lifestyle as their father had shouted at them and Ma made them eat their hated greens.None of their illegal activities are, in fact, their fault but forced upon them by the unfairness of Society. We are all therefore to blame blah blah....

That is such BS. You were criticised on the Hither Green thread for your ridiculous ranting at the police for arresting someone who had killed someone else while they investigated what had actually happened. Get your nose out of the Daily Mail and try using your brain instead of whining about political correctness etc, it's so boring.

They're scum alright, who've had my big 675cc bike away twice using the methods I linked. Scooter pushing a proper bike in neutral, with the steering lock shattered. So common, every bike owner I know has had a machine stolen using that MO. I'd run the fuckers down if I could get away with it.


Edited to add the word 'f u c k e r s'.

Amber Rudd confirmed that crime rates are completely disconnected to the government funding cut for the police service.


There you have it in black and white. Crime levels are acceptable and all part of the government approved budgeted deliverables.


I am sorry about your bike.


Sadly, bikes are easy to dismantle and sell as parts and the police don't even bother looking for them, as they know they will already have been shipped.

Apart from violent crime, Crime rates have fallen. The more we want to 'own' the more someone will come and want to steal it. The violent crime is down to overpopulation and pressure- especially on younger people.

For those looking for some karma, this happened, too:

Petite scooter-riding scrote (is scrote an acceptable term?) vs ex-rugby player Mercedes owner: not a chance!



A mate had his bike stolen while it was chained to a lammpost, near Forest Hill - Onor Oak. Grinder job.


The truth is, not much can withstand an angle grinder attack. Bennets ran some tests, and even the toughest chains only take 30-50 seconds to be cut: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/products/security/motorcycle-chains-and-locks/how-to-choose-the-best-motorcycle-security



The tests were with main-powered grinder; I am not sure if battery-powered take much longer. Hydraulic cutters are even quicker, but they are more expensive and bulkier, so they're more unlikely to be carried on a scooter. An anchor on the ground helps, like this one with cement, but, again, nothing withstands an angle grinder, it's just a matter of time.


Some say that smarter thieves leave a bike somewhere for half a day or so in case it's got a tracker; if the bike is still there when they get back, it means it doesn't.


This by the BBC was quite interesting (and sad):

Back out again last night - seen 15th May after 2am scoping motorcycles on friern road. Thanks to my neighbour alerting the police and making sure they knew they were being watched my bike (chained anchored steering locked imobiliesed alarmed and tracked) is safe for another day - but i've lost one on this road before. Thanks to James Barber for the ground anchor on my front drive supplied at no cost to me!

No confessions by torture or head chopping thanks.


Just good police intelligence and catch them in the act. If necessary bring back indeterminate sentences (I'm sure May would love that one) or just chip everyone :)

Sorry, we cut the hands off criminals who have low IQs? Or criminals and people who have low IQs? Bloody silly comment either way.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
