Thefts of GPSs in cafes.

So they produce & sell non-working units?

Their quality control is poor. So for example if 2% of their units have defects, the other 98% may have a trouble free experience. Their firmware is often released with limited testing and the built in diagnostics non existent. So it takes several firmware releases before something works as it should and they often break fixed stuff in subsequent releases.

Poor old Rita, I hope you take her out a cup of tea.

As I recall, Rita was asked whether she would be "free to take some tea with me"

So she is probably ok

Maybe they are just nice people & expect others to be the same

And that's why they get robbed.

Great thing about dynamo lights. No one carries around a spanner to take them off the bike. GPS I put in jersey pocket whilst in a cafe.

Indeed and was a spanner mentioned in their reply!

Allen key is a colloquial term for a hex wrench . Spanner’s are wrenches . Now stop being one and realise people do have the tools with them to steal anything.

You got called out and tried to be smart . I dunno what your problem is , but get it sorted .

Are the bolts 10/11mm, same size as many brake bolts, on bolt-on dynamo lights?

Still doesn't make right

Not sure anybody said it is right . Sadly people often don’t believe there are bad people out there who would steal the breath out of their own Granny if they could.

The police are woefully underresourced and you will get a crime number as a minimum and very little else.

B&M have started using Torx bolts for their front lights, maybe for this reason. I doubt Germany has as many thieving scrotes as the UK, either.
