Why would anyone steal a Brooks? Surely the resale value drops rapidly as you use it.

Report it ASAP.
Racism will not be tolerated in any shape or form. Sorry you had to experience this.
Hope you’re ok.
Racism isn't soley a white - black/coloured issue. It works both ways. I've no idea of the skin colour on either side in this, it wasn't mentioned, but I support the OP in this altercation.But to be honest this is the card to play to make sure of an investigation. If there was white on white abuse and threatening behaviour how likely is it to be investigated. I think in some incidents too much emphasis is put on the racial bit and not enough on the actual crime thus putting a white person at a disadvantage of securing police action / prosecution.
Disclaimer. This post is in no way condoning racism, merely my view on how the system now appears to work.

Isnt calling white people icey ones a little bit racist ?
I think it was supposed to be funny.No, although it's instructive that someone who attempts to discuss the topic is lazily accused of racism.
Ic 1 etc is copper speak, but it merely refers to white, (northern and southern European )black, Asian, etc - it does not demonstrate hostility to the group referred to.
If we are to have laws around racism, we have to have definitions.
Often the words used are clearly racist, but not always.
When I moved to the North East, I was confused to hear criminals refer to coppers as 'black bastards' when the coppers were clearly white.
Turns out it's a reference to the colour of the uniform, which is as close to black as makes no difference.
