Potential stolen bike

Motorcycling Stolen!
#1

Just came through peckham about 10-15 mins ago.

4 bikes all 125 lead one had no lights on and don’t think the engine was running.

Looked like a DNA or CBR 125. Tbh didn’t realise what I’d just seen untill about a minute later.

Will check video tomorrow.

Think some poor sod is going to have a shock in the morning though…

So you did what we blame the public for doing - ignored them

yes and no!

It was 12:30am. they all appeared from behind a bus (overtaking) by the time I realised what was happening 1, I could not turn around 2, there was 4 of them! what was I supposed to do get a kicking?

As much as I’d love to give this shits a kicking I have to be realistic as well 4-1! likely hood they would have been tooled up and given me the kicking.

12:30am… Guessing you were on a blood run? Or just out of the house because of the wife’s snoring again?

true, I will report it once I've gone over the video.

But honestly I know what they will do, and that is FA. I have lost all faith in the police when it comes to bike thefts.

It’s all true but please report it anyway.
It will add to the numbers and they can’t ignore for much longer.

This. Report every incident you come across. I do it everytime i see scrotes, it's just a 5min call to 101

On the topic of the police attitude to bike theft, a call was made by a member of the public at 3.15pm about a bike behaving suspiciously, (the date is unimportant but the incident was recent) and the police came to my door at half past midnight the next day. The bike turned out to be stolen but had false plates fitted. My plates. My question to them was if the incident was reported at 3.15. Why are you knocking my door at half past midnight the next day. What took you so long? Their respose was… We came didnt we, what more do you want?..

The fault does not lie with the PC’s that come and visit you but with the political decision makers that have cut police funding.

I have called Essex Police on 101 twice. Each time I was hanging on for over 20 minutes and then, when I did get through, I was transferred to the "incident" desk and kept hanging on for so long that I gave up.
