Yes good on them, but it was the second time they suffered a theft from a bike left in the front garden, do they not learn?

Why the Hell did mum let him leave it unsecured in public view after already having had one bike taken in that manner? If it weren't for f***wits like that we wouldn't have thieves in the first place.

Probably because she was given the bike and it cost her nothing

Because in a civilised society it should be safe for a child to leave their own bike in their own front garden for five minutes without some scrote trying to nick it?

'Should' and 'reality' are two totally separate things.

I agree. But sadly, the days of my youth in the 70's are long gone. Nothing can be left about for ten seconds these days.

BTW, anyone visiting the Bristol Post website be warned that it is advert hell with loads of bug-laden scripting. Your laptop/phone/PC will likely crash unless you install Ad Blocker. I'm not advertising it or anything, but it's essential when visiting this poorly designed site which has now added one of those 'Do You want to leave this page?' things to try and keep you there. It wins my award as sh**e website of the year.

While you were typing that I stole your bike.

I can leave my garage door open for entire weekend and a wallet left on the drive for a similar amount of time. Why can't everybody else? Hopefully one day they will?

Who can really define a civilised society? I suspect like poverty in a developed nation it's constantly being moved.

Come on Drago , if everyone locked all their doors and windows I am sure some thieves (but not all) would simply smash the window or even the door in. I am afraid we will have to live in a big brother world to remove crime altogether.

Yeah, she clearly doesn't care about the bike or her kid's happiness - that'll be why she blockaded the road.
