What is it with these b*st*rds?!?!?!? Like the guy says in his blog, Aren't we entitled to park wherever we want without worrying about these scum??
I would go on to say that those handling stolen goods have just as much to answer for. If I caught someone doing this I would probably end up being locked up for GBH. Where's the justice & why do we have to put up with these sub-species????

I would disagree.

Without people buying stolen goods, there is no need for the theft in the first place, so those receiving, should be punished harder.

And thief's should have their hands chopped off - the Arabs one thing right.

The bike in question is a Triumph not a Yamaha. Modern Yamahas have in-build immobilisers, hence the reason for the 'Red' key.

I'm no expert on Triumphs but I understand the newer ones come with OE alarms. Not sure if there are immobilisers.

Don't know about you lot but I just watched that and it made my blood boil. The whole time, I just wanted someone to catch them at it and fecking leather them where they stood.

Maybe one thing to learn from this video is that sometimes its better to park your bike where it is out in the open rather than hidden away from passing public. On the other hand tyres more change of kids touching it and it getting scratched by folk trying to sit on it on the way back from the pub.

Swings and roundabouts I suppose. Anyway, good to see it didn't put the guy off from getting another bike.

It's really a shame. But bike thieves in brazil normally use a gun fire in the red light to stole your bike... Then you can't do nothing! They use the bikes to make a bigger robbery
